2015 Map of Ice Cave Mountain

About this map

The Medicine Bow National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape in Natrona County, where the topography is defined by the Deer Creek Range and the prominent summit of Ice Cave Mtn. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, with numerous creeks carving through the terrain. To the north, Deer Creek Park sits near the confluence of W Fork Deer Cr and Andys Cr, while the southern reaches are dominated by the winding course of Bates Cr and its tributary, E Fork Bates Cr. The map reveals a complex network of canyons and ridges, including the deep Sensebaugh Canyon in the northeast. The absence of major settlements highlights the land's primary character as a protected natural resource and watershed, managed by the U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Geological Survey for its geographic and environmental importance.
