1964 Map of Crane Creek

About this map

Goose Lake dominates the western half of this mid-1960s survey, its shoreline traced by the Southern Pacific railroad line. The landscape transitions sharply from the lake's edge toward the wooded uplands of the Fremont National Forest. Along the narrow corridor between the water and the mountains, small settlements and stopping points like Cogswell and Scherrard sit near the rail line and a series of flowing wells, indicating the importance of water management and transit in this high-desert region.
