1960 Map of Crimson Dawn

About this map

Casper Mountain and Muddy Mountain dominate this mid-century survey of the high country south of Casper, Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a series of recreation sites and early mountain retreats, including the Hogadon Basin Ski Area and the Beartrap Meadow County Park. The settlement of Crimson Dawn sits at the edge of the plateau, while the map preserves the location of Eadsville (Site), an old mining camp. Numerous organizational camps, such as Camp Sacajawea and the Casper Lions Camp, are clustered along the ridge near Circle Drive. South of the mountain crest, the landscape transitions into a network of drainages like Garden Creek and Muddy Creek, where ranching life is noted by the remote Cheney Cow Camp.
