About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this late 1960s landscape, where the high desert meets timbered uplands. The terrain is bisected by the Old Indian Treaty Bdy, a significant cultural line marking historical land agreements. To the north, the Silver Lake Ranger Sta and the Gowdy Ranch represent the primary human footprints in a region defined by ranching and forest management.

Water management and transportation are evident through the Gaging Station on Silver Creek and the presence of a Landing Field and a Landing Strip. High points such as Hager Mtn, featuring a Lookout, and Mahogany Mtn offer strategic vantage points over the drainage of West Fork Silver Creek. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Cinder Pit indicates the importance of local material extraction for maintaining the area's light-duty roads and jeep trails.
