About this map

The high alpine timber and drainage basins of the Medicine Bow Mountains define this landscape, recorded during a 1962 field survey with revisions added in the mid-1970s. Industrial activity in the Colorado State Forest is prominent, centered around the Bockman Lumber Camp and Willey Lumber Camp. These sites, along with the State Forest Headquarters and Camp Pennock, indicate a region managed for both resource extraction and conservation during the mid-twentieth century.

Water management is highlighted by the Michigan Ditch, an engineering feature cutting across the slopes of the Diamond Peaks. High peaks including Clark Peak and Cameron Peak mark the continental divide between the Roosevelt National Forest and the Routt National Forest. Notable landmarks for researchers include Preachers Cabin Springs, Montgomery Pass, and the specialized infrastructure at M-M Cabins.
