1987 Map of Sherman Mountains West

About this map

The Sherman Mountains define this high-altitude landscape within the Medicine Bow National Forest during the late 1980s. A notable cultural landmark, the pyramidal Ames Monument, stands near the southern edge of the sheet, marking the highest point on the original transcontinental railroad route. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainages including Dale Creek and Lone Tree Creek, while prominent granite formations like Turtle Rock and Brady Rock punctuate the mountain slopes.
