1953 Map of Fossil Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Shoshone National Forest landscape in the early 1950s was a hub for both institutional study and remote ranching. The presence of the University of Missouri Geology Camp near the Middle Fork Popo Agie River highlights the region's importance as a natural laboratory, while the Middle Fork Guard Station and Meyer Lookout demonstrate the structured management of this wilderness. Notable geological and water features define the terrain, including the dramatic hydrology of The Sinks and the high elevation of Fossil Hill. Ranching life is documented at the Eversole Ranch in Harvey Basin, with the Enterprise Ditch illustrating the early efforts to manage water resources for the high country. Trails and stock driveways weave through Burnt Gulch and across Indian Ridge, connecting these isolated outposts.
