1964 Map of School Section Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Old Fort Fetterman Road bisects this Wyoming landscape, following the high ground of Downey Park between the drainage of Reed Creek and Jackson Creek. The map documents a rugged ranching and mining environment in the mid-1960s, punctuated by family-named landmarks such as Sims Ranch, Comb Ranch, and the Arnold Place near the eastern edge. The southern portion is dominated by the steep topography of the Medicine Bow National Forest, where the Pyramid Mine is located near the headwaters of La Bonte Creek. Strategic mountain crossings like Latham Pass and Chamberlain Pass provide access through the eastern ridges. Notable terrain features such as School Section Mountain and Camelback Mountain define the local relief, while the Hildebrand Ditch indicates early water management efforts to support the remote outposts and cow camps like Horr Cow Camp situated along the creek bottoms.
