About this map

The Medicine Bow Mountains define the high-elevation landscape of this Wyoming quadrangle, where the boundary between Carbon and Albany counties cuts through the terrain. The western portion of the map is dominated by the Medicine Bow National Forest, a region marked by significant peaks such as Coyote Hill and Bunker Hill. The hydrology of the area is complex, with numerous named drainages including Sevenmile Cr, Fourmile Cr, and the various branches of Mill Cr that flow through the timbered slopes.

Water management and transportation are evident in the northern and eastern sections, where the Straus Ditch Number 2 and Co RD 57 traverse the lower elevations. Named landmarks like Strouss Hill provide orientation points for those navigating the transition from the forested mountains to the more open ranch lands. Scattered access routes like Woolf Ranch Rd and Dutton Creek Rd connect this high-country wilderness to the surrounding region, illustrating the long-standing use of these foothills for livestock and natural resource management.
