1961 Map of Sharp Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this section of Carbon County, where high-elevation drainage patterns define the landscape of the early 1960s. The map illustrates a managed wilderness where early infrastructure supports both resource extraction and conservation, evidenced by the central presence of the Jack Creek Guard Sta and a nearby Mine. Water management is a primary feature of the terrain, as seen in the Jack Creek Ditch and the convergence of numerous named streams including Buck Methodist Creek, Alameda Creek, and Cherokee Creek. The prominence of the Jack Creek Campground suggests the area's established role in public recreation during this era. A network of primitive transit is marked by a Jeep Trail, which winds through the southern elevations toward the distinctive peak of Sharp Hill.
