1955 Map of Baldy Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Laramie Mountains terrain dominates this mid-century survey of Albany County, Wyoming, conducted as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Strong Creek and Middle Chugwater Creek carve through high-elevation plateaus. Notable landforms like The Buttes and Baldy Mountain rise above the surrounding creek beds, illustrating the topographical transition from the mountains to the high plains. Human presence in this environment is sparse, centered on isolated holdings like the Greaser Ranch. The map captures a moment in 1955 when ranching and water management were the primary drivers of settlement in this part of the West, with numerous springs and seasonal branches like Shanton Creek and South Chugwater Creek mapped in detail to support regional resource planning.
