1950 Map of Sherman Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Lincoln Highway and the Union Pacific railroad trace a historic transport corridor through the high country of the Sherman Mountains in the late 1940s. This survey details a landscape where military training, ranching, and early automotive travel converged. The Fort Francis E. Warren Target and Maneuver Reservation occupies a significant portion of the north, while family-held operations like Mellody Ranch and K P Ranch define the valley floors. Significant landmarks of the transcontinental route are visible, including the massive Ames Monument and the Hermosa Tunnel, alongside now-quiet stations like Tie Siding. The map also highlights the distinctive geological formations of the Medicine Bow National Forest, such as Vedauwoo Glen and the Devils Playground, which have long served as landmarks for travelers crossing the Laramie Range.
