1953 Map of South Pass City

About this map

South Pass City stands as a focal point of Wyoming mining history in this mid-century survey, surrounded by the remnants of the gold boom. The map documents the industrial footprint of the region through several named sites, including the Carissa Mine, Franklin Mine, and Shields Mine, alongside a Historical Marker that notes the settlement's local significance. To the south, the Erramouspe Place and the Sweetwater River define the lower basin, while the north is dominated by the Shoshone National Forest and Willow Creek. This record preserves the location of Landing Strips and a local Cem, showing how infrastructure and community landmarks integrated with the high-altitude topography of the Wind River Range foothills.
