2015 Map of Blue Nose Creek

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates the southern reaches of this Wyoming landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is carved by a complex network of drainage basins. The eastern topography is defined by the dramatic Wagon Hound Gorge and Wagon Hound Falls, features that illustrate the significant elevation drops of the Wagon Hound Cr system. To the west, the watershed of La Prele Cr and its tributaries, including Little La Prele Cr and Meadow Cr, shape the descent from the mountains toward the plains. Named landmarks like Virden Pass, Redenbaugh Pass, and Point of Rocks indicate established routes through this difficult geography. The presence of Beaulieu Lakes and Long Reservoir suggests the vital role of water management in this arid region of Converse County.
