2015 Map of Ryan Park

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this section of the Medicine Bow Mountains in Carbon County, where the settlement of Ryan Park and the locality of Tenmile are situated. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management and natural drainages, including the Wiant and Highline Ditch, Stewart Ditch, and Cook Ditch, which redirect water across the high terrain. The North Platte River flows through the southwestern corner near Bennett Peak, while various canyons and gulches like Buffalo Gulch and Francis Draw carve the mountain slopes. This 2015 survey illustrates the modern intersection of forest management, recreation, and historical water rights in a region where Barrett Ridge and Reynolds Run mark the transition from high peaks to the river valley.
