1956 Map of Milk Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines the western edge of this territory, where the High Plains meet the dramatic geological formations of the Absaroka Range. The map reveals a landscape dictated by seasonal water and cattle ranching, anchored by established outposts such as the LU Cow Camp, TA Cow Camp, and the Anderson Sawmill in the north. The presence of several temporary sites like the Dvarishkis Hunting Camp indicates the area's importance for both recreation and industry during the mid-1950s. Named peaks such as Sugar Loaf Mountain and Squaw Teat Butte overlook a complex network of drainages including Milk Creek and Cottonwood Creek. Of particular interest is the curiously named The Holy City rock formation in the southwest, while scattered Oil Wells hint at the mineral extraction occurring alongside traditional grazing on this rugged Wyoming terrain.
