1952 Map of Tin Cup Mountain

About this map

Beaver Rim dominates the northern horizon of this mid-century survey, marking a significant topographical break in the high plains of Fremont County. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Granite Mountains and Long Creek Mountain, where high-altitude water sources like Findlay Springs and Tin Cup Spring were critical for sustaining early settlement. Evidence of rural life and natural resource extraction is anchored by the Givens Homestead and the Long Creek Ranch, while the Tin Cup Mine (Inactive) near the base of Tin Cup Mountain indicates the area's geological and prospecting interests. This 1952 study provides a clear view of the water management infrastructure of the era, including the Findlay Reservoir and its associated Ditch, as it appeared before modern development altered the drainage patterns of Long Creek and Tin Cup Creek.
