1964 Map of Rock Creek

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates the high-altitude landscape of this 1960s survey, updated in the mid-1980s to show the shifting terrain of the Wyoming wilderness. The topography is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Little Medicine Bow River, including the North Prong Little Medicine Bow River and South Prong Little Medicine Bow River. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by remote sites such as Russells Camp and the evocative The Peach Orchard located along Sleepy Jack Creek. The map documents the rugged interface of Converse Co and Albany Co near Little Medicine Falls, where steep elevations like Breakneck Hill rise above the network of springs and creeks. A single 4wd trail provides the only indicated vehicular access through this section of the Laramie Mountains foothills.
