1961 Map of Windy Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Freezeout Mountains dominate the central landscape of this Wyoming quadrangle, serving as a prominent geographical divider north of the Medicine Bow River. In the early 1960s, the area retained its high-desert character, defined by drainage systems like Sledge Creek and The Hay Slough. To the north, the terrain transitions into the Little Basin, bordered by the distinctive Smith Creek Rim. Evidence of early settlement and land use is sparse but significant, highlighted by the presence of the Comstock Homestead near the headwaters of Willow Spring Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the natural corridors and named landforms, such as Petes Gap and Windy Hill, that historically guided movement through this section of Carbon County. These features illustrate the ranching and surveying history of the region prior to modern developments.
