1955 Map of Coad Mountain

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates the southern half of this mid-century survey, its boundary line cutting across the prominent peaks of Coad Mountain. The high-altitude landscape is defined by a complex drainage network where Oberg Creek and Middle Creek flow westward, while Thode Creek and Pass Creek wind through the eastern valleys. Evidence of early Wyoming ranching life is visible in the placement of the Johnson Ranch and the isolated Ivans Grove, connected by the winding Pass Creek Road. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from the rugged mountain slopes to the more open Loco Bottom Basin. Landform features like Indian Hill and the 9,454-foot summit at Vabm 9454 serve as significant markers for navigating this remote stretch of Carbon County.
