About this map

Blackhall Mountain and Wood Mountain anchor this high-elevation landscape along the border of Wyoming and Colorado during the early 1960s. Located within the Medicine Bow National Forest and Routt National Forest, the map captures a primitive infrastructure of the era, dominated by a Pack Trail and early communication corridors labeled as Telephone lines.

Drainage systems define the topography, with the East Fork Encampment River carving through the western edge while the headwaters of McAnulty Creek and Middle Fork Big Creek flow through the eastern drainages. A single Mine located near Billie Creek points to the area's history of mineral exploration. This 1961 field check provides a detailed record of the Carbon County and Jackson County boundary before modern recreational development altered these high-country corridors.
