1961 Map of Phantom Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this 1961 field-checked landscape, where the high ridges and drainages of Carbon County reveal a history of resource extraction and mountain surveillance. The presence of the Slash Ridge Lookout atop Slash Ridge highlights the era's reliance on fire spotting towers for forest management. To the east, the topography includes Phantom Lake and the nearby Stamp Mill Lake, names that suggest the area's prospecting past, specifically along the banks of Arrastre Creek. The map details a complex network of alpine waterways, including the headwaters of North French Creek and South Brush Creek, providing a clear record of the watershed prior to modern developments. This high-altitude terrain, marked by Barrett Ridge and Middle French Creek, serves as a precise document of mid-century federal forest administration in the Wyoming mountains.
