1953 Map of Fossil Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Middle Fork Popo Agie River carves a dramatic path through this high-elevation Wyoming landscape, where the geological significance of the area is underscored by the University of Missouri Geology Camp. The river's disappearance at The Sinks highlights the complex karst topography of the region, which is further defined by landmarks like Fossil Hill and the Freak Mountains. This 1953 survey captures the early infrastructure of the Shoshone National Forest, showing remote outposts such as the Middle Fork Guard Station and the Meyer Lookout. Human activity in these foothills and peaks is represented by the Eversole Ranch near Beaver Creek and the intricate Enterprise Ditch system, which reflects the essential history of water management for mountain ranching and agriculture.
