1956 Map of Cooke City

About this map

High-altitude mining and glacial geography define this mid-century survey of the Beartooth and Absaroka ranges. Cooke City and Silver Gate serve as the primary gateways to this remote landscape, where the local economy remained tied to the extraction of mineral wealth. The map documents an extensive mining network south and east of the settlements, including the Glengarry Mines, McLaren Mines, and Irma Mines, alongside smaller operations like the Little Daisy Mine and Shoe Mine.
