1957 Map of Irish Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines the character of this high-altitude landscape in the late 1950s, dominated by the massive Carter Mountain and the deep drainage of the Greybull River. This area is characterized by isolated outposts and high-country routes, where life centered on the scattered ranching operations along the riverbanks. The map documents several key pastoral locations, including Palette Ranch No 1, Palette Ranch No 2, and Homestead Ranch, which served as anchors for habitation in this remote region. High-elevation points like Irish Rock and Aldrich Basin are connected by a network of historic pathways, such as the Warhouse Trail and Haymaker Trail. The presence of the Jack Creek Cabin and Venus Creek Cabin suggests a history of seasonal work or forest management deep within the basins of Jack Creek and Venus Creek, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure required to manage these extensive forest lands.
