About this map

Ice Cave Mountain and the surrounding heights of the Deer Creek Range dominate this 1990s U.S. Forest Service and USGS study of Natrona County. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the West Fork Deer Creek to the north and Bates Creek to the southwest. Human presence is sparse and localized, represented by the isolated Miles Cabin and several unmarked Ruins situated within the Medicine Bow National Forest.

A network of 4wd tracks provides the primary means of traversal through this high-elevation terrain, connecting deep incisions like Senebaugh Canyon with the subterranean interest of the Ice Cave. The map records a moment in the late twentieth century when these lands remained primarily dedicated to resource management and primitive recreation, away from established townships or paved highway corridors.
