About this map

Davidson Flats and the surrounding high country of Albany County define this corner of the Medicine Bow National Forest. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of drainages and peaks, including Britania Mtn and Pine Mtn, which frame the central plateau. High-altitude hydrology is a primary feature here, evidenced by the Sturgeon Number 1 Reservoir and numerous creeks such as Siebolt Cr, McFarlane Cr, and House Log Cr that cut through the terrain.

Evidence of historical land use and travel is found along the winding paths of Palmer Canyon Rd and Ashley Creek Rd, which provide access to more remote landmarks like Split Rock and Duck Creek Falls. Large topographical depressions such as Wallace Draw and Mertz Draw illustrate the erosional patterns of the region, while the Public Land Survey System grids emphasize the organized division of this expansive Wyoming wilderness.
