1992 Map of Keystone

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this mountain landscape along the border of Carbon and Albany counties. The area is defined by its history of resource extraction, particularly centered around the small settlements of Keystone and Holmes. A high concentration of mining activity is evident, including the Rambler Mine, Golden Key Mine, and Keystone Mine, highlighting a legacy of lode mining in the Medicine Bow range. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features, most notably the Rob Roy Reservoir and the headwaters of the North Fork Platte River. The mapping of the Savage Run Wilderness and Platte River Wilderness boundaries underscores a mid-century shift toward land conservation and managed recreation. Industrial remains such as a Gravel Pit and various routes labeled Abandoned offer further evidence of the region's evolving infrastructure.
