1956 Map of Milk Creek

About this map

Shoshone National Forest lands dominate the western portions of this 1950s survey, where the rugged topography is defined by the headwaters of Cottonwood Creek and Milk Creek. The map documents a working landscape of mid-century Wyoming cattle ranching and timber harvesting, marked by several remote outposts including LU Cow Camp, TA Cow Camp, and the Anderson Sawmill along Roach Creek. This era of land use is further evidenced by a scattered network of jeep trails and pack trails that provide the only access to the high interior country.
