1961 Map of Divide Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape of the Medicine Bow National Forest, marking the fundamental hydrologic split of the American West. Centered on Divide Peak, this 1960s survey (updated in the early 1980s) details a network of watercourses including the North Fork Savery Creek and East Fork Savery Creek. Human presence in this isolated terrain is characterized by dispersed sites like Hansen Ranch and the Twin Groves area. To the south, Dexter Peak rises above the confluence of Mexican Creek and Strawberry Creek. The map documents early extraction and land use, featuring the Bridger Mine near Mc Lain Creek and a Prospect located near Hartt Creek. It provides a clear record of the backcountry road network and high-country meadows like Joes Park before modern development patterns shifted the landscape.
