1961 Map of Cameron Creek

About this map

The Freezeout Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this 1961 survey, where the rugged terrain of Carbon County gives way to the open expanses of Cameron Meadows and the Little Basin. This high-desert environment is defined by its water sources, from the Shirley Basin Reservoir in the northwest to seasonal drainages like Muddy Creek and Cameron Creek. The presence of the Tenneyley Homestead and the Shamrock Ranch suggests a landscape dedicated to cattle and sheep ranching during the mid-20th century.
