1953 Map of Fourmile Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Irene Ranch sits at the base of the drainage network in this high-altitude livestock landscape of Carbon County. The topography is defined by the prominent Fourmile Ridge and the broad Shirley Basin to the south, where intermittent water sources like Alkali Creek and South Fork Sage Creek drain the arid terrain. The presence of Mine Hill suggests the early mineral exploration that often coincided with ranching in this part of Wyoming. The area's relative isolation is managed by the Kortes Road, which provides the primary north-south transit through a series of canyons including Wolf Canyon and North Wolf Canyon. Surveyors utilized high points like VABM 6862 Cherry to map this complex system of draws and rims, including the distinct Dry Creek Rim in the northeast corner of the quadrangle.
