1964 Map of School Section Mountain

About this map

The Old Fort Fetterman Road carves through the central high country of this mid-1960s survey, marking a historic transportation corridor across the Wyoming landscape. This rugged interior of the Medicine Bow National Forest is defined by a ranching and mining economy, where established sites like Sims Ranch, Comb Ranch, and the Arnold Place are scattered among the drainages of Wagon Hound Creek and La Bonte Creek. The topography rises toward School Section Mountain and Camel Back Mountain, while lower-elevation features such as Downey Park Road provide access to the Pyramid Mine and various seasonal camps like Hore Cow Camp. This map provides an exceptionally detailed record of the early infrastructure of the Converse and Albany county line, preserving the locations of remote homesteads, ditches, and old jeep trails used by generations of ranchers and prospectors.
