About this map

Woods Landing and Jelm serve as the primary human outposts in this high-altitude landscape where the Laramie River carves through the eastern edge of the Medicine Bow Mountains. This modern topographic study shows a complex network of forestry and mountain access roads, such as Boswell Rd and Jelm Mountain Rd, which snake through the protected reaches of the Medicine Bow National Forest.

The presence of the Bliler and Boswell Ditch signifies the ongoing importance of water management in this arid region, drawing from the mountain runoff of Bear Cr and Shellrock Cr. Notable landmarks like the prominent Sugarloaf peak and the open spaces of Chimney Park define the local geography. Researchers will find the map particularly useful for tracing the precise drainage patterns of the N Fork Squirrel Cr and Fox Cr against the backdrop of the high ridgelines.
