About this map

Carrietown and a cluster of high-altitude mining claims define this rugged corner of the Smoky Mountains in Blaine County. The landscape is marked by the legacy of silver and lead extraction, with the King of the West Mine, Silver Star Mine, and Horn Silver Mine situated near the headwaters of Carrie Creek. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and deep gulches, where Dollarhide Summit serves as a critical navigation point along the divide between the drainage of Warm Springs Creek and the southern basin.

Agricultural activity persists in the lower reaches, noted by the presence of Gooding Cow Camp and Camas Cow Camp near the confluence of Little Smoky Creek and its tributaries. These seasonal camps and corrals contrast with the industrial history of the northern slopes, reflecting a shift from mineral prospecting to livestock grazing. The network of forest roads, including Little Smoky Rd, provides the primary access to these remote operations and topographical landmarks like Ditto Flat.
