1992 Map of Davidson Flats

About this map

Davidson Flats and the surrounding high country of Albany County appear here in a transition period for federal land management, based on 1967 aerial photography with revisions through the early 1990s. The map illustrates a landscape of high plains and rugged rises where the eastern edge of the Medicine Bow National Forest meets private ranch lands. Water sources are critical in this environment, as evidenced by the dense network of drainage including Mertz Creek, Siebolt Creek, and the notable Duck Creek Falls in the south. Human activity is marked by the presence of a Landing Strip and a modern Pipeline cutting across the northern reaches near Britannia Mountain. To the south, Pine Mountain and the distinctively named Split Rock serve as significant topographic anchors for the region, while Palmer Canyon Road provides the primary east-west transit through this isolated territory.
