1965 Map of Deer Creek

About this map

Greys River flows northward through the heart of the Bridger National Forest in this mid-1960s survey of Lincoln County. The map details a landscape defined by water and high-elevation terrain, from the Middle Ridge to the prominent Star Peaks. Human presence is concentrated along the river corridor, where the Deer Creek Guard Station, Lynx Creek Campground, and Murphy Creek Campground served as vital outposts for forest management and backcountry access. This survey preserves the exact network of administrative and recreational sites before later developments, showing the remote character of the Wyoming wilderness. Tributaries like Hot Foot Creek and Dead Dog Creek feed the main river, while isolated high-country features such as Stump Lake and Murphy Lakes offer specific landmarks for those tracing the history of the Salt River Range.
