Medicine Bow Peak, Snowy Range, west of Laramie. Lake Marie is in the foreground. The lake was named by surveyor Charles Bellamy (1851-1934) in honor of his wife Mary Bellamy (1861-1955) who, in 1910, was the first woman elected to the Wyoming State Legislature. Wyoming was the first state to require professional engineers to have licenses and Charles Bellamy was the first to register, making him America's first licensed professional engineer.
