1955 Map of Coal Bank Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Peterson Ranch and Kamp Ranch anchor a series of homesteads scattered across this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County. The topography is dominated by the massive rise of Dana Ridge and Sheephead Mountain, overlooking the Coal Bank Basin and the flat expanses of Overland Flats. The map reveals a complex water management system for ranching, including the Pass Creek Ditch and Knuth Ditch, alongside a lone Coal Mine that points to the region's industrial potential. Local life is grounded at the Hat Creek Sch and the various family holdings like Clapp Ranch and Weidner Ranch. Significant historical geography is preserved through the marking of the Overland Trail, tracing a path through the basin that predates modern development. Seasonal hydrology is evident in features like Welton Fish Pond and Welton Lake, which contrast with the arid character of Coal Bank Draw.
