1963 Map of Four J Rim

About this map

Four J Rim dominates this high-elevation landscape along the border of Sweetwater and Moffat counties, where the high desert terrain of southern Wyoming meets northern Colorado. The 1963 survey captures a territory defined by intricate drainage systems and scarce water sources, as seen in the networks feeding Salt Wells Creek and Vermillion Creek. Isolated landmarks like Wallace Cabin and a lone Gas Well indicate the sparse human footprint in this livestock and mineral country during the mid-twentieth century.
