1961 Map of Medicine Bow Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The high-altitude terrain of the Snowy Range dominates this landscape within the Medicine Bow National Forest, anchored by the towering Medicine Bow Peak. The 1960s survey, updated in the early 1980s, reveals a complex alpine environment defined by numerous glacial lakes and high meadows known locally as parks. Significant water bodies like Lake Marie, Silver Lake, and Libby Lake are concentrated near the mountain spine, while the southern half of the map transitions into the expansive Libby Flats. This area serves as a vital headwater region, where the Middle Fork Little Laramie River begins its descent through lower-elevation clearings such as Nelson Park and Willow Park. The inclusion of Headquarters Park and the crossing at Snowy Range Pass provides insight into early forest management and access points within this protected wilderness.
