1953 Map of Bradley Peak

About this map

Bradley Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, where the Ferris Mountains and Seminoe Mountains meet. The 1953 field check captures a transitional era for local land use, documenting the Elkhorn Stage Station (Ruins) and several inactive ranch sites including R S Ranch (Aband) and Boot Ranch (Aband). Evidence of regional resource extraction is visible through the Sunday Morning Mine (Active) and a Coal Mine located near Suttle Creek. The complex hydrology of the area is mapped through an extensive network of drainage basins like Pattison Basin and irrigation efforts marked as Ditch, while natural features such as Sand Dunes and Mahoney Lake highlight the diverse terrain. This survey provides a precise record of the remote ranching and mining infrastructure that once supported the settlement of this mountainous Wyoming interior.
