1961 Map of Sharp Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-country landscape in the southern reaches of the Medicine Bow National Forest. The map documents a period of resource management and early recreation within Carbon County, centered around the Jack Creek Guard Sta and the nearby Jack Creek Campground. The drainage patterns are complex, defined by numerous waterways such as Buck Methodist Creek, Cherokee Creek, and Alameda Creek that flow from the timbered slopes. Evidence of land use is found in the Jack Creek Ditch and a small Mine located near Snow Grove Creek, while a network of Jeep Trails provides access to the higher elevations surrounding the prominent Sharp Hill. This survey, updated with 1980s data, illustrates the intersection of industrial extraction and forest service administration.
