1961 Map of Elkhorn Point

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this mountain landscape along the Wyoming-Colorado border, where the North Platte River carves through Bow Canyon. In the early 1960s, this area served as a rugged intersection of ranching and recreation. Big Creek Ranch sits in the western flats near the waters of Big Creek, while to the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Elkhorn Point and Deerhorn Point. The presence of the Henry Ditch and various Springs highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid high-country environment. For those interested in local industry and infrastructure, the map documents a Mine near the northern boundary and several Gravel Pits, alongside established leisure spots like the Sixmile Picnic Ground near Sixmile Gap.
