2021 Map of Sherman Mountains West

About this map

The Sherman Mountains rise sharply in this high-altitude landscape within the Medicine Bow National Forest of Albany County. This 2021 survey reveals a complex network of recreational and historical access points, including the extensive Tie City Trail System Trl and the Summit Loops Trl near Pole Mtn. For historians, the southern portion of the map is particularly significant, containing the Old Sherman Cem, a quiet remnant of the transcontinental railroad era near the former high point of the line. The terrain is defined by rugged granite outcroppings like Turtle Rock and deep drainages such as Sawmill Canyon and Gilmore Gulch. Water resources are central to the area's geography, from the Williams Number 3 Reservoir to the headwaters of Dale Cr and Middle Crow Cr.
