1961 Map of Sharp Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this section of the Sierra Madre range in Carbon County, where the landscape is defined by the high drainage systems of the Continental Divide. Surveyed in 1961 with later revisions, the topography centers on the namesake Sharp Hill and the headwaters of numerous named watercourses including Buck Methodist Creek and Alameda Creek. A notable presence of Forest Service infrastructure is evident at the Jack Creek Guard Sta and the nearby Jack Creek Campground, serving as an anchor point for travel along the iconic Continental Divide Trail. The map also captures remnants of resource extraction, such as a Mine located near Snow Grove Creek, illustrating the intersection of recreation, conservation, and industry within the National Forest during the mid-20th century.
