About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in the Sierra Madre range, where the Continental Divide dictates the flow of numerous headwaters. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the western half of the map, crossing Battle Pass and skirting prominent peaks like Red Mtn and Doane Peak.

Evidence of historical activity and management is found in named drainages such as Slaughterhouse Gulch and Tram Gulch, while Battle Cem sits as a quiet monument to early high-country life. Water management is indicated by Cow Creek Reservoir and Silver Lake, providing essential resources for a region characterized by deep gulches and significant elevation changes. The map traces a network of remote creeks including S Heather Cr and the N Fork Encampment River.
