1962 Map of Cottonwood Rim

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this 1962 landscape along the boundary of Carbon County, Wyoming, and Routt County, Colorado. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts and a network of drainages including Little Snake River and Battle Creek. The map shows a region geared toward forest management and early recreation, evidenced by the Sandstone Ranger Sta and Battle Creek Campground. Named landmarks such as Sheep Mountain, Mule Mountain, and the prominent Cottonwood Rim provide clear reference points for the high-altitude topography. A series of gulches, including Upper Big Gulch and Lower Big Gulch, illustrate the complex erosion patterns that characterize the area's transition into the Cottonwood Park basin. This survey documents the intersection of public lands and natural water sources like Stemp Spring before later developments altered the local backcountry infrastructure.
