1962 Map of Whiskey Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Whiskey Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Fremont, Carbon, and Sweetwater Counties. This 1962 survey, updated with 1980s data, documents a transition from early pioneer settlement to 20th-century energy development. The presence of the Joe Wimmer Homestead (Aband) and Tully Homestead reflects the era of high-country ranching, while the expansion of the Wertz Oil Field and the appearance of a Radio Tower indicate the area's industrial evolution. Navigability in this terrain was defined by a network of Jeep Trails and unnamed Trails that connect family holdings like Diamond Hook Ranch and Stratton Ranch. The drainage patterns of Willow Creek and Big Camp Creek carve deep draws into Green Mountain, supporting the isolated reservoirs and springs essential for local livestock and homesteading operations.
