1961 Map of Cameron Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Freezeout Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, where the stark transition from mountain peaks to the Little Basin floor is clearly mapped. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Muddy Creek, Cameron Creek, and Smith Creek, which flow through the prominent Smith Creek Rim. In the northern portion of the quadrangle, the Shirley Basin Reservoir and the mineral-tinged waters of Red Lake (Alkali) highlight the area's hydrology. Human activity in this remote region is recorded through isolated cattle-ranching and homesteading operations, such as Shamrock Ranch and the Temperley Homestead. Industrial signatures are sparse but notable, including a Quarry on the slopes and a high-elevation Pipeline crossing the southern ridges near a Radio Tower, reflecting the 20th-century development of Wyoming's natural resources and infrastructure.
