About this map

The settlement of Arlington serves as the focal point for this 1950s survey of the high Wyoming landscape, situated where the Overland Trail crosses the waters of Rock Creek. This area of Carbon County shows a distinct pattern of high-altitude ranching, with properties such as Brokaw Ranch, Old Fisher Ranch, and White Ranch scattered across the creek valleys and foothills. The presence of the Medicine Bow National Forest boundary marks a transition into more recreation-focused terrain, highlighted by the Rock Creek Picnic Ground.

Higher elevations are dominated by landmarks like Rock Mountain and Deer Mountain, the latter notably featuring a Ski Lift and Ski Slide during this era. A network of primitive routes, including several segments of Pack Trail and Jeep Trail, suggests a landscape used for both resource management and seasonal sport. Water management is also evident through the local Aqueduct and Pipeline infrastructure, which cuts across the drainage basins of Onemile Creek and Threemile Creek.
