1968 Map of Fletcher Park

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this high-altitude terrain, where the boundary between Albany and Platte counties cuts through a landscape defined by dramatic rock formations and mountain drainage systems. By the late 1960s, the area remained largely oriented around seasonal camps and small-scale operations like Hanks Sawmill. The North Laramie River winds through the central forest, fed by numerous tributaries including Claude Irvine Creek and Brandel Creek. Landform markers such as Indian Head Rock and Chimney Rock served as crucial navigational aids for those traveling along the Van Ortwick Hill Road or following the many pack trails. Settlements are sparse, represented by Cottonwood Park, Fletcher Park, and the specialized facilities at Camp Grace and Camp Hill, reflecting a territory primarily used for resource extraction, forestry, and outdoor recreation.
