1962 Map of Elkol SW

About this map

Cumberland Flats anchors the southeastern landscape of this 1962 survey, where the drainages of the Lincoln and Uinta borderlands converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent waterways, including Hill Creek, Ryckman Creek, and Little Muddy Creek, which carve through the high-elevation basins. Sparse human activity is evidenced by scattered Mine and Prospect workings, suggesting an era of exploratory mineral interest rather than large-scale industrial development. Navigation through this high country relied heavily on the rugged Jeep Trail system, which connects the various creek beds and ridges. The presence of a named Spring and the convergence of Whitney Creek near the southern boundary highlight the critical importance of water sources in this arid Wyoming landscape during the early 1960s.
