About this map

The Continental Divide defines the southern portion of this high-altitude landscape, marking the hydrological boundary between the Atlantic and Pacific watersheds. Located along the border where Carbon County, Wyoming meets Routt County, Colorado, the area is characterized by the intersection of the Medicine Bow National Forest and Routt National Forest. The presence of the Sierra Madre range and deep-cut features like Box Canyon emphasize the natural drainage patterns that feed the Encampment River and E Fork Encampment River.

Water management and natural meadows are central to this territory, with Hog Park Reservoir serving as a significant landmark in the southwest. Surrounding it, a network of drainages including Hog Park Cr and S Fork Hog Park Cr flows through the forest. Open spaces like Commissary Park and Ryan Park provide breaks in the wooded terrain, indicating historical use for grazing or forest management within the protected national forest lands.
