2021 Map of Blue Nose Creek

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the terrain transitions into a complex network of canyons and high ridges. The historical transit of the region is traced by the Old Fort Fetterman Rd, a route that follows the undulating topography near Blue Nose Creek. Significant geological features such as the La Prele Gorge and Wagon Hound Gorge indicate the erosive power of local waterways, which have carved deep paths through the Wyoming soil. Water management is evident through the inclusion of the Gata Number 2 Reservoir and Beaulieu Lakes. Mountain passes, including Virden Pass and Redenbaugh Pass, mark the natural corridors used to navigate this part of Converse County. Numerous family-named landmarks like Caffee Point and Baldy Point offer touchpoints for local history and genealogical research.
