1961 Map of Sand Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the Snowy Range rises in the south. The area is defined by its extensive alpine hydrology, including the headwaters of the Medicine Bow River and its East Fork, alongside dozens of named glacial lakes such as Sand Lake, Quealy Lake, and Black Spotted Lake. The terrain transitions from the open stretches of Stillwater Park and Johnson Park to prominent elevations like Lookout Mountain and Windy Hill. This survey highlights the region's recreational and navigational infrastructure, showing the Sheep Lake Trail and North Gap Lake Trail as they cross the boundary between Carbon and Albany counties. The map provides an essential look at this wilderness area before late 20th-century developments, preserving the original backcountry trail system and early forest management markers like the Bow River Overlook.
