1962 Map of Cumberland Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Oyster Ridge dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Lincoln and Uinta Counties, where mid-century ranching and transit corridors follow the natural breaks in the terrain. The presence of the Union Pacific Railroad Old North Fork Grade highlights the historical importance of this pass for logistics and resource extraction, while local life centers around the Ziller Ranch and Company Ranch. Evidence of earlier settlement remains at the Cumberland Cem and the Storm Shelter Cabin No 2, situated near the eponymous Cumberland Gap. The drainage patterns of Little Muddy Creek, Albert Creek, and Whitney Creek define the navigation of the Cumberland Flats, showing a region defined by its water sources and the Carter Cutoff Road.
