1961 Map of Red Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The high ridges of the Sierra Madre dominate this early 1960s survey, where the Continental Divide cuts a winding path across the rugged landscape. This region of the Medicine Bow National Forest is marked by the legacy of early Wyoming mining and settlement. The townsite of Battle is a central focal point, accompanied by the nearby Battle Cem and the Rambler Mine, indicating the area's industrial past. Steep drainages like Slaughterhouse Gulch and Treasure Gulch feed into the North Fork Encampment River, while high-altitude landmarks such as Doane Peak and Red Mountain provide significant relief. The map also details a network of primitive transportation, including a Tram line and various Jeep Trails, which were essential for accessing these remote mineral claims and mountain peaks during the mid-20th century.
