About this map

Medicine Bow Mountains define the high-elevation terrain of this region along the border of Carbon and Albany Counties. Part of the Medicine Bow National Forest, the landscape is a network of named peaks and drainage basins. Strouss Hill and Coyote Hill rise above a series of creeks that flow eastward, including Fourmile Cr, Onemile Cr, and Sevenmile Cr.

Evidence of ranching and water management is visible through features like the Straus Ditch Number 2 and Woolf Ranch Rd. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the headwaters of the Mill Creek system, with the N Fork Mill Cr, Middle Fork Mill Cr, and S Fork Mill Cr carving through the slopes near Bunker Hill. This survey provides a modern view of a largely uninhabited but highly utilized mountain landscape, showing the precise intersection of public forest lands and private ranching access.
