About this map

The Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Laramie Mountains of Albany County. The settlement of Toltec serves as a lone namesake point in a region defined by complex hydrology and rugged relief. Water management is evident through features like Joe Ditch, the Eggleston Reservoir, and the Soldier Cr Reservoir, which capture seasonal flows from the numerous creeks descending from the peaks.

Travel through this portion of the forest is anchored by the historic Fetterman Rd, which traverses the terrain alongside several named passes and canyons. Geographical landmarks such as La Bonte Canyon, Mule Creek Pass, and Ellison Pass dictate the movement of travelers and water alike. The map captures a high-country environment where isolated springs like Fortymile Spring and Soldier Spring provided critical water points along the primitive road networks of the Wyoming interior.
