1961 Map of Morgan

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this 1961 survey, revealing a high-altitude wilderness defined by the divide between the Carbon and Albany county lines. The small settlement at Morgan and a nearby Lumber Camp suggest a local economy tied to the timber and mining potential of Cooper Hill. The terrain is deeply carved by water, with the Middle Fork Medicine Bow River and South Fork Medicine Bow River draining the western slopes while various forks of Rock Creek and the North Fork Little Laramie River flow east and south. High-altitude landmarks like Rock Creek Point and Rock Creek Ridge overlook a landscape dotted with isolated water bodies, including Crater Lake and Firebox Lake. The network of Jeep Trails and Foot Trails shown here highlights the early 1960s accessibility of this backcountry area for resource management and recreational use.
