About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this section of Carbon County, Wyoming, showcasing the high-elevation drainage systems of the upper Savery Creek watershed. The settlement at Tullis serves as a lone point of habitation along the northern edge of the Green Ridge uplift. The landscape is defined by its water resources, with a Gaging Sta monitoring Savery Creek and a network of seasonal water sources like Pop Springs and the numerous gullies feeding the larger basins.

Transportation through this high-country terrain is limited to the Sandstone Trail and unimproved dirt roads that navigate the complex topography of the Sandstone Divide. The southern portion of the map highlights the confluence of Big Sandstone Creek and Little Sandstone Creek, revealing how the land’s natural folds dictated the movement of early settlers and forest rangers through these canyons.
