1956 Map of Cooke City

About this map

Cooke City sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, flanked by a high-altitude landscape of heavy mineral extraction and glacial activity. The map reveals an intensive mining history near the northern border of the Yellowstone area, with several active or recently worked sites like the Glengarry Mines, McLaren Mine, and Black Warrior Mine scattered across the high ridges. These operations are reached by steep mountain routes such as Lulu Pass and Daisy Pass, which navigate the peaks of the Beartooth Mountains.
