Fox Farm-College, Ranchettes and South Greeley are unincorporated suburbs that ring Cheyenne on its south and southwest edges and are often mistaken for city neighborhoods rather than separate Census places.<\/p>\n ZIP Codes<\/h2>\nThe smaller unincorporated communities — Horse Creek, Granite, Egbert and Altvan — are served by the nearest post office rather than carrying their own ZIP code.<\/p>\n Geography<\/h2>\nLaramie County sits on the High Plains of southeastern Wyoming, rising from open shortgrass prairie in the east to the foothills of the Laramie Range near its western edge. Crow Creek and Lodgepole Creek drain the county toward the South Platte basin. Interstate 25 and Interstate 80 cross near Cheyenne, and Interstate 180 links the two through downtown.<\/p>\n |
