2017 Map of Indian Rocks

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this Carbon County region, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage creeks and historical irrigation infrastructure. The namesake Indian Rocks stand as a central landmark amidst a series of topographical features including Antelope Springs Draw and Owl Gulch. The reliance on water management in this arid Wyoming environment is evidenced by the prominent placement of the Cherokee Ditch, Centennial Ditch, and Dunkard Ditch, which redirect natural flows across the high plains. In the north, Antelope Reservoir serves as a primary catchment point for Methodist Cr, while the southern reaches are dissected by numerous streams such as Beaver Cr and N Heather Cr. Access through this section of the forest and surrounding public lands is maintained via rugged corridors like S Spring Creek Rd and various Bureau of Land Management routes.
