1952 Map of Guffy Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Copper Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Hot Springs and Fremont counties. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the map documents a transition from cattle ranching to specialized mineral extraction in the Wyoming interior. Named peaks like Guffy Peak overlook a network of isolated homesteads, including the Meeks Ranch and Quien Sabe Ranch, alongside sites marked as outmoded such as Guffy Ranch. The terrain is deeply etched by seasonal watercourses like Antelope Creek, Kirby Creek, and Dry Creek, which define the drainage patterns of Bridger Basin. Of particular interest to industrial historians is the clustering of tungsten and copper prospects, specifically the McGraw Copper Mine, Stardust Tungsten Mine, and Comet Tungsten Mine. These labels suggest a period of post-war exploration for strategic materials in the high desert of the Missouri River Basin development area.
