About this map

Kennaday Peak anchors the high terrain of the Medicine Bow Mountains in this high-altitude section of the Medicine Bow National Forest. The landscape is a network of drainage basins and ridges, including the prominent Troublesome Ridge and Red Hill. The map documents a delicate balance of land use, where the high-mountain wilderness meets ranching and water management infrastructure like the Wiant Supply Ditch and Highland Ditch in the southern flats.

Several named "parks" or clearings are distributed across the peaks, such as Red Park, Sage Brush Park, and Chimney Park, indicating traditional grazing or camping areas within the forest. Evidence of local aviation and private landholdings appears at the Cedar Creek Ranch Airport, while Forest Rd 261 provides the primary vehicular access through Cedar Pass and into the higher elevations near Buffalo Gulch.
