About this map

South Pass City stands as a focal point of Wyoming's mining heritage in this late-twentieth-century record of the Lander Ranger District. Located within the Shoshone National Forest, the area is densely marked with the remnants of gold-seeking industry. Significant sites like the Carissa Mine, King Solomon Mine, and Duncan Mine are documented along the rugged drainages of Willow Creek and Hermit Gulch.

The presence of an Historical Marker and a Cem near the townsite suggests the preservation of this frontier settlement's legacy. To the south, the landscape transitions toward the Sweetwater River, a critical water source for the region's historical development. The map also captures local family landmarks such as Etramouspe Place, providing valuable data for genealogists and researchers tracking the post-frontier evolution of Fremont County's high-country settlements.
