1961 Map of Strouss Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Overland Trail cuts across the northern reaches of this Wyoming landscape, marking a historical passage through the high-elevation terrain of the Medicine Bow National Forest. In the early 1960s, the region was characterized by isolated cattle operations like Mantle Ranch and Bunn Ranch, set against a backdrop of prominent summits including Strouss Hill, Coyote Hill, and Bunker Hill. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Sevenmile Creek and Cooper Creek carving through the slopes, supported by the Straus Ditch No 2 irrigation system. Scattered oil wells and mineral prospects indicate a geography of extraction, while various trails and the occasional pipeline reflect the post-war development of the Missouri River Basin. This survey captures a moment when traditional ranching and emerging industrial interests shared the rugged divide between Carbon and Albany counties.
