1962 Map of Sagebrush Park

About this map

The Green Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Fremont and Sweetwater Counties in the early 1960s. This survey details a network of drainage basins including West Cottonwood Creek, Middle Cottonwood Creek, and East Cottonwood Creek, which flow through high meadows like Sagebrush Park and Little Long Park. Human activity is sparse but notable, centered on the Hadsell Ranch and a remote Mine located near a Jeep Trail in the western section of the quadrangle. The map captures the complex topography of the Stratton Rim and Whiskey Ridge, where dramatic elevation changes define the transition from high mountain parks to the Stratton Hollow below. This survey is particularly useful for tracing early ranching boundaries and the original paths of unimproved roads across the Owl Hills.
