1961 Map of Divide Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the high country of the Medicine Bow National Forest on this 1961 survey, updated for 1983. This high-altitude drainage basin is defined by the headwaters of the North Fork Savery Creek and East Fork Savery Creek, where several small-scale resource extractions are documented. These include the Bridger Mine and various prospect pits scattered across the slopes near Mc Lain Creek. Human activity is concentrated along the creek bottoms, evidenced by the Hansen Ranch and the isolated Twin Groves. The terrain is deeply incised by family-named and descriptively named drainages such as Hartt Creek, Hatch Creek, and the uniquely titled Dirty Man Fork and Truckdrivers Creek. Dominating the skyline are prominent summits like Divide Peak and Dexter Peak, marking the crest of the divide in a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and mineral exploration within the national forest boundary.
