1992 Map of Morgan

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this Wyoming landscape, revealing a complex network of high-elevation water bodies and rugged terrain at the start of the 1990s. The small settlement of Morgan sits near the northeastern corner, perched near Cooper Hill and the drainage of Cooper Creek. The map documents a transition from industrial activity to recreational use, showing a Gravel Pit alongside numerous hiking and pack routes like the Tray Trail and Sheep Creek Trail. The high-country hydrology is remarkably dense, featuring Crater Lake, Sevenmile Lake, and Firebox Lake, while the Rock Creek Ridge serves as a prominent vertical divide. Forest Service management is evident through designated landmarks such as the North Fork Observation Point, providing a record of 20th-century land use within this portion of the Snowy Range.
