1957 Map of Irish Rock

About this map

Shoshone National Forest encompasses the majority of this high-elevation terrain, where the peaks of Carter Mountain and Phelps Mtn dominate the horizon. In the late 1950s, the landscape was defined by the transition from the upper reaches of the Greybull River valley into steep alpine basins. Human presence is concentrated around water sources and lower elevations, evidenced by cattle operations like Palette Ranch and Homestead Ranch. The map reveals an intricate network of specialized land tracts along the river, likely representing early settlement and agricultural divisions within the forest boundary. Remote structures such as Jack Creek Cabin and Venus Creek Cabin highlight the isolation of the high country, while historic routes like the Warhouse Trail and Greybull Trail provide the primary means of navigating the drainages of Aldrich Creek and Anderson Creek.
