About this map

The Medicine Bow National Forest and Routt National Forest converge at the high-altitude border between Wyoming and Colorado on this modern survey. The terrain is defined by the peaks of the Medicine Bow Mountains, including Bear Mtn and Independence Mtn, interspersed with mountain meadows or "parks" like Jerry Park and Casteel Park. Water management is a critical feature of the landscape, demonstrated by the presence of the Continental Ditch and Casteel Ditch, which redirect snowmelt through the rugged topography. Traces of human activity are concentrated along routes like Copper Mine Rd and Holroyd Rd, while the numerous branches of Big Cr, including the Middle Fork Big Cr and S Fork Big Cr, establish the area's complex drainage patterns.
