1958 Map of White Rock Canyon

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this section of Carbon County, Wyoming, as it appeared in the mid-20th century. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation drainage systems of the East Fork Medicine Bow River and Rock Creek, where numerous parks such as Sawmill Park, Stanley Park, and Racehorse Park suggest a history of high-country grazing and timber activity. The presence of the historic Overland Trail crossing the eastern slopes below Conical Peak provides a direct link to early western migration and transport routes that predated the railroad era.
