1955 Map of Coad Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Coad Mountain and Pennock Mountain dominate this mid-century survey of Carbon County, where the northern reaches of the Medicine Bow National Forest meet the high-altitude Wyoming basin. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, with Brush Creek and Canyon Creek cutting through the uplands towards lower elevations. Human presence is sparse but specific, marked by established holdings like the Johnson Ranch and the small clearing at Ivans Grove. This 1955 field-checked data reflects a classic ranching and forestry environment, where travel followed natural gaps in the terrain such as Oberg Pass. The map also captures the distinct hydrography of the region, from the Beaver Pond in the south to the wandering course of Finn Creek and Pass Creek, illustrating how water sources dictated the placement of early mountain trails and primitive roads.
