1961 Map of Cameron Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Freezeout Mountains dominate the southern half of this landscape, rising sharply above the Little Basin and the winding course of Cameron Creek. To the north, the terrain transitions into the more open grazing and water-scarce environments typical of Carbon County, where the Shirley Basin Reservoir and the seasonal Red Lake (Alkali) manage the limited hydraulic resources of the region. This 1961 survey provides a look at the remote ranching infrastructure and land use of the period, evidenced by the presence of the Shamrock Ranch and the Temperley Homestead. The map documents a landscape defined by water sources like Dyer Spring and Smith Creek, essential for the survival of high-desert operations. Human activity is further marked by a small Quarry and a Radio Tower, indicating the slow encroachment of modern utility and industry into the traditional ranchlands of central Wyoming.
