1962 Map of Elkol

About this map

Oyster Ridge dominates this 1962 landscape in Lincoln County, creating a sharp geological divide between the high ground and the industrial activity of Cumberland Flats. This area was a hub of coal production and transportation, evidenced by the Union Pacific rail lines and various mining operations like the Radiant Mine and Lincoln Star Mine. The settlement of Elkol stands as a primary point of interest, supported by infrastructure including the Skull Point Res and several rail junctions such as Glencoe Junction and Blazon Junction. The transition from active rail use to legacy transport is visible through the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and a network of jeep trails. Natural drainage is primarily defined by Hams Fork and North Fork Muddy Creek, which cut through the ridges and gaps of the Wyoming terrain.
