1962 Map of Warfield Creek

About this map

The high ridge of the Bear River Divide dominates this portion of Lincoln County, marking the topographical split between major western drainage systems. To the east, the industrial imprint of the Elkol Strip Mine cuts into the slopes near Cavanaugh Peak, while the western drainage is defined by the headwaters of Warfield Creek and Little Muddy Creek. This 1962 survey, updated with 1970s revisions, illustrates a remote ranching and resource extraction landscape. Traces of human habitation are sparse but notable, specifically the Old Dutch John Ranch situated along the South Fork Twin Creek. The map also records essential water sources for livestock and local wildlife, such as Warfield Springs and the Skull Point Res, which are connected by a network of unimproved roads and a dedicated Trail through the hollows.
