1992 Map of Medicine Bow Peak

About this map

The high-altitude terrain of the Snowy Range dominates this 1990s revision, which highlights the recreation and resource management landscape of the Medicine Bow National Forest. Situated along the boundary between Carbon and Albany counties, the map documents a dense network of glacial lakes including Lake Marie, Mirror Lake, and Silver Lake. Human infrastructure is concentrated near Snowy Range Pass, where the Libby Flats Observation Shed provides a vantage point over the high plateau. The map details the drainage patterns of the Medicine Bow River and Brush Creek, alongside seasonal meadows like Fourlog Park and Nelson Park. This survey, updated with 1990 aerial photography, serves as a record of the mid-1990s forest service road system, including Brush Creek Rd and Laramie Rd, which provided access to remote timber and recreational tracts.
