1955 Map of Coalmont

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Coalmont and the surrounding ranchlands of North Park define this mid-century landscape, where coal extraction and cattle ranching coexist along the upper reaches of the Little Grizzly Creek drainage. The Union Pacific railroad serves as the primary corridor for the region's industry, connecting the mining operations at Open Pit Mine and Coal Mines with the small rail stop at Hebron. The map provides a detailed view of the high-altitude ranching economy, identifying numerous family-named properties such as Mellen Ranch, Wamsley Cattle Ranch, and Turpen Ranch. In the more remote southern sections, the terrain rises toward Pole Mountain, where water management is visible through features like Fuller Reservoir and the Wisconsin Ditch, supporting agriculture in this semi-arid basin. A single school, Spicer Sch, is located in the southeastern corner, highlighting the sparse settlement pattern of the era.
