About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where high peaks and deep canyons define the border between Converse and Albany counties. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevations, including Saddleback Mountain and the trio of North, Middle, and South Sawtooth Mountains. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the Curtis Gulch Campground and the isolated Mc Donald Cabin near the banks of La Bonte Creek.

A network of primitive infrastructure serves the region, with numerous trails and jeep trails navigating through Jenkins Pass and West Fork Pass. The drainage patterns of Horse Creek and Bear Creek suggest a landscape largely untouched by intensive development, preserved for forestry and recreation. Geologists and local historians will find value in the specific canyon locations, such as Joe French Canyon and La Bonte Canyon, which illustrate the complex topography of this Wyoming highland.
