1956 Map of Bolten Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Overland Trail tracks across this high Carbon County landscape, passing the Sage Creek Stage Sta (Historic site) which serves as a vital marker of 19th-century western migration. The map captures the remote ranching and mining character of the mid-1950s, centered on the Bolten Ranch and the Bolten Road network. Topographically, the area is defined by the prominent Hogback and the heights of Sheep Mtn and Choke Cherry Knob. The drainage system of Little Sage Creek and Sage Creek shapes the valley floors, where a solitary Coal Mine indicates the localized extraction efforts of the era. The presence of Deadman Creek and Wild Horse Canyon highlights the traditional nomenclature of this cattle country, while the course of La Marsh Creek winds through the southern reaches, providing a detailed record of the water sources essential to the region's survival.
