1961 Map of Sand Lake

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the early 1960s, defined by its complex network of glacial lakes and headwater streams. The boundary between Carbon and Albany counties runs through the southern reaches of the map, cutting across several remote water bodies including Quealy Lake and Reservoir Lake. The era’s land management and recreational development are evident through the presence of the Carlson Park Guard Sta and the Deep Creek Campground, positioned along the drainage of Deep Creek.
