1964 Map of Marshall

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the mid-1960s, where the small settlement of Marshall sits at the junction of several drainage basins. The area is defined by a network of draws and creeks, including the headwaters of Mule Creek, Frenchy Draw, and Cottonwood Creek, providing a look at the hydraulic geography of the Mine Hills and Crystal Hill region. Evidence of early transit and land use appears through the presence of the Old Fort Fetterman Road and isolated homesteads like Bennett Place. Industrial activity is hinted at by scattered prospects and landing strips, suggesting a remote ranching and mineral exploration economy. The topographic detail highlights prominent natural features such as Cameron Pass and Sheep Creek, which carved deep canyons into the Wyoming plateau.
