1961 Map of Singer Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Singer Peak dominates the high-altitude landscape of Carbon County, where the Continental Divide winds across the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a remote section of the Medicine Bow National Forest defined by its complex hydrology and early resource management. Long before modern water systems, the Deep Creek Ditch and Belvidere Ditch were carved into the slopes to divert flow, a testament to the region's historical ranching and mining infrastructure. Settlement is sparse and concentrated at the Johnson Ranch and Stratton Ranch, while recreation is anchored by the Little Sandstone Campground. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainage systems like Big Sandstone Creek and Mill Creek, with a solitary Mine located near Strawberry Gulch indicating the era's small-scale prospecting efforts.
