About this map

The Medicine Bow River and Wagonhound Creek shape this high-altitude ranching landscape in Carbon County, where mid-century cattle operations and earlier homesteads define the settlement pattern. Remote family holdings like T L Ranch, Johnson Ranch, and the Wick Lower Ranch are connected by a network of unimproved roads and utility lines, including a telephone cable and pipeline. Evidence of the area's pioneer past is preserved in the path of the Overland Trail crossing the western slopes and a designated Historical Mon.

Industrial activity is recorded through resource extraction at the Black Diamond Mines and Keen Mine to the north, as well as an Oil Well and Separator near Bear Creek Ridge. Geologic features such as Chimney Rocks and Castle Rock provide distinct navigational landmarks across the undulating terrain. The inclusion of specific family sites like the Tyler Homestead and Old Brooks Place provides significant value for genealogists tracing early residents of this Wyoming rangeland.
