2015 Map of Overlook Hill

About this map

The Medicine Bow Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Medicine Bow National Forest, where steep drainages and timbered ridges define the terrain. The North Platte River cuts through the southwestern section, fed by a network of high-country streams including French Cr, Douglas Creek, and Savage Run Cr. This 2015 survey illustrates the modern management of these public lands, showing the established system of forest roads such as French Creek Rd and Boat Creek Rd that provide access for recreation and natural resource oversight. Named high points like Overlook Hill and Stovepipe Hill stand as significant landmarks for navigation. Traces of historical land use appear in labels like Hubbell Ditch and Bear Gulch, indicating earlier attempts to divert water and manage the local geography for mining or agriculture in this demanding environment.
