2017 Map of Solomon Creek

About this map

The Continental Divide crests through this high-country landscape, serving as the topographical spine where the Medicine Bow National Forest in Wyoming meets the Routt National Forest in Colorado. The region is defined by its complex drainage systems, with the N Fork Little Snake River and Solomon Creek carving through the steep terrain of the Sierra Madre range. High-altitude meadows such as Huston Park and Standard Park offer a contrast to the dense timberland, while the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds along the heights, tracking the literal boundary of the American West. In the southeast corner, the Hog Park Reservoir sits as a significant water feature, fed by Hog Park Creek and Whiskey Creek. This survey captures a remote wilderness area where natural hydrology and federal forest boundaries dictate the movement of travelers and water alike.
