1949 Map of Mt. Lewis

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Mt Lewis stands as the central landmark in this 1949 survey of the Shoshone Range, an area defined by its mid-century mining activity and high-elevation ranching. The landscape is etched with the canyons and summits that hosted a network of silver and barium operations, including the Betty O'Neal Mine, the Kattenhorn Mine, and the Hilltop Barium Mine. While most mines on this sheet were noted as inactive by the late 1940s, the infrastructure of the era remains visible through the Utah Mine Camp and the winding Maysville Trail. Water sources like Trout Creek and Mill Creek supported localized ranching, represented here by the Home Ranch and Shwin Ranch. The map captures a high-desert industrial frontier in transition, where old claims like the Blue Dick Mine and Red Top Mine mark the rugged slopes between Lewis Pk and Havingdon Pk.
