1951 Map of Bear Mountain

About this map

Bear Mountain dominates the landscape of this 1951 survey, situated along the border of Natrona County and Carbon County. The area is defined by a complex drainage system where Bear Creek and its West Fork meet, alongside the paths of Bolton Creek and North Fork Canyon Creek. While largely focused on the topography of the Missouri River Basin development, the map reveals human imprints such as the Bolton Road winding through the terrain. This edition includes revisions made in the early 1980s, providing a layered perspective of the high-altitude Wyoming backcountry as it transitioned through the mid-20th century.
