About this map

Kennaday Peak dominates the high-altitude topography of the northern Medicine Bow Mountains within the Medicine Bow National Forest. This modern 2021 survey reveals a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Troublesome Cr and Middle Cedar Cr, which flow from the high ridges toward lower basins. The southern portion of the sheet shows the transition from the mountain slopes to more managed lands, where irrigation infrastructure like the Wiant Supply Ditch and Highland Ditch supports high-country ranching.

The human imprint on this wilderness is most visible through the seasonal and recreational use of named areas such as Red Park, Lime Kiln Park, and Chimney Park. Transportation in the area relies on forest service roads and specialized trails, including the Middle Cedar Atv Trl and Stump Hollow Atv Trl. The presence of the Cedar Creek Ranch Airport provides a specific point of reference for local aviation history and rural connectivity in Carbon County.
