About this map

The Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this section of Carbon County, where the high-altitude terrain of the Medicine Bow Mountains is carved by a dense network of drainages and seasonal creeks. The North Platte River cuts through the western portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary hydrological focal point alongside Douglas Creek in the southeast. Historical land management and resource access are evidenced by the presence of French Creek Rd and various secondary routes like Charles Draw Rd.

Water management and local geography are further defined by the Hubbell Ditch and prominent elevations such as Overlook Hill and Stovepipe Hill. The landscape is characterized by its drainage patterns, with numerous named tributaries including Savage Run Cr, N Mullen Cr, and Headquarters Cr feeding into the larger river systems. This survey reflects the modern management of these protected federal lands and the persistence of traditional nomenclature for the region's gulches and hills.
