About this map

Wick Brothers Ranch and its nearby Wick Brothers Sheep Camp anchor this mid-century look at the high-elevation pastures and timberlands within the Medicine Bow National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the drainages of Wagonhound Creek and the Medicine Bow River, where natural features like White Rock Canyon and Conical Peak rise above named meadows such as Racehorse Park and Stanley Park.

A notable historical throughline is the presence of the Overland Trail, which cuts across the terrain near the forks of Foote Creek. The map documents localized land use and ranching infrastructure, including the isolated Colberg Cabin and the site of Sawmill Park. Numerous Beaver Ponds and water sources like Long Lake and Willow Creek illustrate the complex hydrology of this Wyoming wilderness before modern developments.
