2015 Map of Horatio Rock

About this map

Horatio Rock stands as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape within the Medicine Bow National Forest. Situated along the border of Carbon and Albany counties, the terrain is defined by the Medicine Bow Mountains and the winding course of the North Platte River in the southwest. A complex drainage network of creeks, including Douglas Cr and Sixmile Cr, carves through the forest, while named ridges like Platte Ridge and outcrops like Castle Rock provide navigational anchors for the area. The map illustrates a remote wilderness managed for both conservation and access, with specialized forest routes like Six Mile Gap Rd and Platte River Access Rd providing the only terrestrial links through the deep ravines of Spruce Gulch and the surrounding timberland.
