1987 Map of Green Top Mountain

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this high-altitude Wyoming quadrangle, where the headwaters of North Fork Lodgepole Creek and Horse Creek originate. The topography is defined by prominent landmarks such as Green Top Mountain, Eagle Rock, and Bare Knob, revealing a rugged terrain managed for both resource extraction and conservation. The presence of several Mine sites near McKechnie Meadow indicates the region's mineral interests, while the solitary Grave recorded in the northern reaches provides a poignant point of interest for genealogists and local historians. This 1980s survey captures a transition zone between the foothills and higher peaks, where reliable water sources like Artillery Spring and the sprawling Mc Kechnie Meadow supported high-country ranching and forestry operations along the boundary of Albany and Laramie counties.
