About this map

The Medicine Bow Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Carbon and Albany counties. Centered on the Medicine Bow National Forest, the terrain is defined by prominent landforms such as Lulu Ridge and Cooper Hill, which transition into the drainage basins of the N Fork Little Laramie River and Rock Creek Point. This 2015 survey reveals a complex hydrological network of alpine lakes and headwater streams, including Sevenmile Lake, Crater Lake, and the N Twin Lakes.

Remote access is primarily limited to forest tracks like Fallen Pines Rd, which winds through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures the preserved character of this wilderness area, where named ridges like Rock Creek Ridge and natural clearings like Rock Creek Park are carefully documented. The lack of permanent settlements underscores the area's role as a protected forest and watershed during the early 21st century.
