1953 Map of Fourmile Point

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Shirley Basin provides the expansive backdrop for this mid-century topographic record of Carbon County. The landscape is defined by its ranching and aviation infrastructure, centered on the Meer Ranch and a remote Landing Strip near the confluence of DRY Creek and Horse Springs Draw. Evidence of livestock management is scattered throughout the drainages, including a Corral and Shearing Pens Draw, illustrating the high-country sheep and cattle operations of the 1950s. High points such as Chalk Mtn and Fourmile Point offer distinct landmarks across the basin, while the Rim drop-off and seasonal waterways like South Fork Canyon Creek dictate the movement of travelers along Bolton Road. This survey, revised in the early 1980s, preserves the early-century footprint of isolated homesteads and springs like Burgess Springs that were essential to life in this arid Wyoming territory.
