2015 Map of Coad Mountain

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest encompasses the southern portion of this Carbon County landscape, where the northern reaches of the Medicine Bow Mountains rise above the surrounding basins. This high-altitude terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Coad Mtn and Pennock Mtn, which overlook the expansive Pass Creek Basin. The area is geographically notable for its drainage patterns, with numerous creeks such as Pass Cr, Finn Cr, and Lemoine Cr carving through the mountain slopes. The historic path of the Cherokee Trl crosses the central region near Indian Hill, marking a corridor of movement across this portion of Wyoming. Low-lying areas like Loco Bottom Basin contrast with the steeper topography of Pass Creek Canyon, providing a detailed look at the complex landforms used by ranchers and outdoorsmen in the 21st century.
