1955 Map of Goat Mountain

About this map

Iron Mountain and the Limestone Rim dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Albany and Laramie Counties. The area is defined by its mid-1950s ranching economy and mineral potential, with several prominent homesteads including Bell Ranch, Bosler Ranch, and Indian Guide Ranch scattered across the drainages. A significant geological feature of the map is the concentration of Titaniferous Deposits and a specific Titaniferous Prospect Area south of Goat Mountain, indicating the industrial interest in the region's mineral wealth during the post-war era. Water flows through the network of the Chugwater Creek system, including the Middle Chugwater Creek and South Chugwater Creek. These drainages create natural corridors between high points like Dummy Hill and Eagle Top, providing a detailed look at the land use patterns of Wyoming’s mountain-and-basin topography.
