1961 Map of Horatio Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Horatio Rock stands as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the Carbon and Albany county line meets the Wyoming-Colorado border. The map illustrates a transitional wilderness managed by the Medicine Bow National Forest, characterized by a complex network of drainage systems like Douglas Creek and Pelton Creek. A historical reliance on pack animals is evident through the naming of the Devils Gate Pack Trail and Hans Creek Pack Trail, which provided access to remote outposts such as Thomson Lodge. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the dramatic descent into North Gate Canyon, where the North Platte River cuts through the terrain. Evidence of early recreation and forest management is seen in the established Illinois Creek Campground and Pelton Creek Campground, alongside a lonely Gaging Station monitoring the flow of mountain waters.
