1956 Map of Dead Indian Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Sunlight Mining Region and its high-altitude ranching economy dominate this mid-century survey of the Shoshone National Forest. The map documents a landscape of transition where early industrial efforts like Lee City (Aband) and Winona Camp had already faded, leaving behind a network of working livestock operations. Named cattle and horse outfits such as Riddle Ranch, Double Spearhead Bar Ranch, and the Quarter Circle Lazy Open A Ranch line the banks of Sunlight Creek. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, from the depths of Gravelbar to the peaks of Dead Indian Peak and Trout Peak. Remote outposts and natural features like Sunlight Ranger Sta, Sweetwater Mineral Springs, and Big Creek Falls reflect the area's use for forestry and recreation during the 1950s.
