1940 Map of Savery

About this map

Savery sits at the southern edge of this survey, where the Snake River winds across the state line between Wyoming and Colorado. The terrain rises sharply to the north and east, defined by the Continental Divide and the wooded reaches of the Medicine Bow National Forest. This region reflects a landscape of early 20th-century resource management and high-country ranching, evidenced by scattered outposts like the Tullis settlement and the Jack Creek Ranger Sta. Surveyed between 1901 and 1932, the map documents the complex drainage systems of the Savery Creek watershed and the Sage Creek Basin. Notable high-altitude landmarks such as Bridger Peak, Battle Mtn, and Sheep Mtn overlook a network of trails and firelines, including the remote Rambler Ranger Sta near the mountain lakes.
