About this map

Ryan Park and the high-elevation ranching country of Carbon County are defined by a complex network of water management and seasonal recreation. Water engineering is central to this landscape, as seen in the Stewart Ditch, Wiant Ditch, and Cook Ditch, which divert mountain flows across the drainages of the N Platte River and its many tributaries like Beaver Cr and Brush Cr. These irrigation systems support working properties such as the Brush Creek Ranch and Condict Ranch.

The area is also a significant hub for mountain tourism and outdoor history. The Ryan Park Ski Course sits near the small settlement of Ryan Park, while landmarks like the Medicine Bow Lodge, Cabin Camp, and Tenmile indicate a long-standing infrastructure for travelers and sportsmen. From the heights of Bennett Peak to the drainages of Stump Hollow, the map provides a precise look at the forest roads and natural draws that characterize this part of the Medicine Bow region.
