1962 Map of Elkol

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Industrial activity and coal mining define this Lincoln County landscape, centered on the high verticality of Oyster Ridge. The Union Pacific railroad and an Old Railroad Grade thread through the terrain, connecting small coal camps and extraction sites such as Elkol and Blazon Junction. The map documents a specialized mining geography with several named operations including the Glencoe Mine, Radiant Mine, and Lincoln Star Mine, often situated near the rugged passes of Blazon Gap. Below the ridgeline, the environment shifts toward the open Cumberland Flats and the drainage of Little Muddy Creek. This survey captures the height of the area's resource-driven development, where infrastructure like a Pipeline and multiple Gravel Pits supported the local mining economy alongside natural landmarks like Skull Point and Crockers Point.
