1963 Map of Phil Pico Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this 1963 survey of the high-altitude borderlands where Utah meets Wyoming. The landscape is defined by the massive presence of Phil Pico Mountain, rising above the surrounding terrain of Corson Peak and Conner Basin. This is a territory of alpine meadows and high-country waterways, where the drainage of Birch Creek and the various branches of Sheep Creek provided the essential water for early ranching and resource management. The intricate network of the Sheep Creek Canal and the presence of Anson Cabin suggest the long-standing human efforts to harness these remote water sources for seasonal grazing or homesteading. Genealogists and local historians can trace the specific boundaries of the Sweetwater and Summit county lines as they intersect with the state border in this upland region.
