About this map

The Sierra Madre mountains define this high-altitude landscape along the Continental Divide, where the border between Wyoming and Colorado meets. The map focuses on the headwaters of the Encampment River and its various tributaries, such as the E Fork Encampment River and S Soldier Cr. This wilderness area is partitioned between the Medicine Bow National Forest in Wyoming and the Routt National Forest to the south.

Historically used for timber and grazing, the region's topography is marked by significant named clearings like Willow Park, Hog Park, and Ryan Park. The presence of the Hog Park Reservoir and several established trails, including the Encampment River Trl and Hog Park Creek Trl, indicates a landscape managed for both water resources and backcountry access. This area remains largely undeveloped, preserving the character of the high country as it appeared in the early 21st century.
