1961 Map of Crooks Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Crooks Peak rises over a high-desert landscape defined by complex drainage networks and traditional ranching life in the early 1960s. This survey, grounded in 1961 field observations, captures the remote character of Fremont Co and Sweetwater Co near the southern edge of the Granite Mountains. Local water sources are critical to this terrain, marked by Crooks Creek Reservoir, Sand Spring, and Bare Ring Slough. The presence of the Jenson Ranch near Taggart Meadows reflects the area's agricultural roots, while a lone Mine and a prominent Pipeline suggest the beginning of industrial mineral and energy development. The geography is further distinguished by significant landforms like Sheep Mountain, Green Mountain, and the notable pass at Crooks Gap, which historically served as a gateway through the surrounding ridges.
