1961 Map of Pole Gulch

About this map

The McKee Homestead stands as a lonely marker of pioneer settlement in this high-altitude landscape of Carbon County, Wyoming, as it appeared in the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and intermittent streams, including the central Muddy Creek and its many tributaries like Horse Springs Draw and Deep Gulch. This area preserves the historical alignment of the Emigrant Bridger Pass Trail, a critical route for early transcontinental travel that winds through the Northwest portion of the quadrangle. The physical geography is dominated by high ridges and peaks, most notably the high point at Sierra VABM 8269 in the southeast corner. Cattle-country landmarks such as Littlefield and Canary Grove Draw indicate the continued agricultural and grazing use of the land following the era of migration.
