About the photo: Elk Mountain, originally called Medicine Butte, is at the northern edge of the Medicine Bow Mountains in South Central Wyoming, 50 miles northwest of Laramie. This prominent feature, at 11,156’ and rising 1,200’ above the surrounding land, was an important landmark to Native Americans and in the American westward expansion. The Stansbury expedition passed north of the mountain in 1850 and the Hayden in 1871. The Overland Stage route passed north of Elk Mountain, as did the Transcontinental Railroad in 1868, then the Lincoln Highway and, now, Interstate 80.
About the photographer: Jon Maaske is a long-time listener and supporter of KUNM. He received his M.F.A. in photography from Arizona State University. He is a psychologist and psychoanalyst in private practice in Albuquerque.
