1953 Map of South Pass City

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

South Pass City stands as a focal point of the Oregon Trail's higher elevations, where the legacy of the 1860s gold rush persists through a landscape marked by industrial mining. The terrain is defined by the steep drainages of Willow Creek and Hermit Gulch, where several named mines like the Carissa Mine and Duncan Mine are situated near the Historical Marker. This 1950s documentation, updated in the late 1970s, captures the enduring footprints of extraction along the southeastern edge of the Shoshone National Forest.
