2021 Map of Elkhorn Point

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Wyoming and Colorado. The terrain is defined by the sharp descent of the Medicine Bow Mountains, with landmarks like Elkhorn Point and Deerhorn Point overlooking the river corridor. Water management and natural drainage are central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Henry Ditch irrigation feature and water bodies such as Spring Lake and Long Lake. The North Platte River carves through the eastern portion of the map, passing through the narrow North Gate Canyon. This transition from mountain peaks like Prospect Mtn to the river valley illustrates the complex topography of the Platte Ridge. These features indicate a region primarily used for timber, grazing, and watershed protection, where roads like Big Creek Rd and Stove Pipe Gulch Rd provide the only access into the backcountry.
