About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest covers much of this high-elevation landscape, where the Medicine Bow Mountains descend toward the valley of the North Platte River. The map documents a complex network of waterways, including natural drainages like Savage Run Cr and French Cr, alongside human-engineered water systems such as Hubbell Ditch and Anderson Ditch. These ditches underscore the region's historical reliance on managed water for ranching and agriculture.

Transportation through this terrain is defined by rugged corridors like French Creek Rd and several historic trails, including the Tie Hack Trl and Douglas Creek Trl. From the heights of Overlook Hill to the banks of the river, the map reveals a landscape primarily dedicated to timber, grazing, and outdoor recreation, with specific routes like A-Bar-A Rd providing access to this corner of Carbon County.
