1953 Map of Beaver Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Freezeout Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Carbon County, where the elevation rises sharply from the Shirley Basin into a complex network of canyons and draws. This mid-century survey captures a transition in land use, noting established features like Cowden Reservoir and the Park Headquarters alongside the remnants of earlier settlement. The presence of the Tikkinen Ranch (Aband) and Saimi Ranch (Aband) reflects the harsh realities of high-altitude ranching in this territory, while Campbell Headquarters Camp suggests ongoing activity. Transportation is defined by the Shirley Basin Road and a series of primitive jeep trails. The drainage system is intricate, with Balsam Creek, Lost Creek, and South Sage Creek carving deep paths through the terrain, punctuated by named landmarks like Button Meadows and the northern edge of the Bennett Mts.
