1958 Map of White Rock Canyon

About this map

Wick Brothers Ranch and the nearby Wick Brothers Sheep Camp mark the agricultural footprint within this high-country terrain of Carbon County. Located largely within the Medicine Bow National Forest, the landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Wagonhound Creek and the Medicine Bow River. The map documents timber and grazing activity through labels like Logging Camp and Sawmill Park, while the historic Overland Trail cuts across the northeastern corner. This 1958 field-checked survey captures the area before modern developments, showing isolated structures such as Colberg Cabin and primitive access via the Foot Trail and various unimproved dirt roads. The presence of numerous Beaver Ponds along the creek beds suggests a vibrant, unaltered riparian ecosystem during the mid-century era.
