1953 Map of The Q Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Shirley Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, Wyoming, revealing a rugged ranching and mining history. Several established homesteads such as The Q Ranch, Old Dolling Ranch, and First Ranch are situated along the drainage systems of the mountains, suggesting a reliance on the scattered water sources of the high desert. In the northern reaches, Prior Flat provides a level break in the terrain near Cave Creek Ranch. Historical industrial activity is evidenced by an Iron Mine (Inactive) on the northern slopes, while unusual geological features like The Sinks on Bear Creek point to the area's complex hydrology. The presence of Ruins near the southern peaks and the remote Grinnell Lake underscore the isolation of these uplands during the mid-20th century.
