Names
Whatever could there be in a name of significance that might influence an individual’s life path and fill his years with unexpected magnificence or shape his thoughts with sudden bursts of wrath? First name, family name, memorial middle name: are all choices the owners had no say in choosing and find that parents are the ones they have to blame or thank because they see their given names amusing. Do you know someone whose name is really Aloysius? or someone with the saintly Christian name Xavier, and would the first have tendencies to be overly suspicious or the second to be constantly mindful of good behavior? Robert goes to Bob and Richard goes to Dick and Henry goes to Hank and Eugene goes to Gene and these shortened forms invariably stick because they follow a common nickname theme. Elizabeth goes to Betty and Roberta goes to Bobbie and Cassandra goes to Sandy and Anastasia to Annie because reduction in name size is a common hobby and frequently the changes are somewhat uncanny. My granddaughter’s name is TigerLily, the flower that blooms in a beautiful orange colored hue and provides her the gift of extraordinary power to plot her life’s course and carry it through. And in my whimsy I’d like to have a special name that would insure my rise to power and to fame, but I fear there’s falsehood in this wishful claim and that finally I would only have myself to blame. —C. F. Kelly
Ole Woolly There was a Woolly Mammoth a long long time ago. That wandered in a nice warm pool and slid on down below. And, after many years had passed the Woolly one was found. Among the other Mammoths there, their bones were all around. So, now we go to see them cause Mammoth traps are rare. And, the one there at Hot Springs is the largest anywhere. - Rich Boettcher

Sublette County Names Written by Judi Myers, 2012 Sublette County is sprinkled with interesting place names. In 1915 the Pinedale Roundup reported that a new grocery store was being built in “Meadowbrook”, on the Green River east of Daniel. Mulligan Park up Skyline Drive is named for ‘Mulligan’ Shanley who cut logs for Pinedale’s homes and businesses. The Miller Addition a couple miles west of Pinedale was called “Oleo Acres” in the 1970s because a sign pro-claimed it to be ‘One of the Cheaper Spreads’. Pole Creek (intersects US 191 south of the airport) was named because in the early days, poles had to be laid across the boggy valley for the wagons to cross. The area north of Daniel has long been the “Bronx” and in 1905 the Roundup referred to the Pape Ranch as “The Colorado Colony”. In 1909 the name “Tourist City” was proposed for a new town on the Rahm Ranch near Cora. Other Cora area names include “Sagebrush Downs” (a snowmobile track), “Forty Rod Flat”, “Mickey Adams Dugway” (a hill on Wyo 352 north of Cora), and “The Pits” (an ancient geyser area between The Buttes and Kendall Guard Station on the 1940 Nation Forest map). In the 1830s Sir William Drummond Stewart named Fremont Lake “Stewart’s Lake” and New Fork “Lake Drummond”. An 1892 map refers to New Fork as “Lake DeMalia”. At one time Boulder Lake was called “Mountain Lake” and Square Top was “Roosevelt Butte”. Skyline Drive was “Highland Drive” and later “Mulligan Park Road” (1940 map). The end of the road was named “Elk Heart Park” after a hunter shot 2 elk there with one bullet. It is now spelled ‘Elkhart’. In the 1980s Pinedale’s town dump was located off Skyline Drive just before you get a view of Fremont Lake. People would often look for treasures when they threw in their trash, so Phil, the caretaker, painted a truck hood with the words “Hillside Shopping Center” and stuck it at the dump’s entrance. Some nicknames are rarely on maps. Pinedale west and north of Pine Creek is “Hollywood” and north of Valley Road is “Shelter Park”. The high point on the road to Jackson is “The Rim”. “The Openings” are the Big Sandy trailhead, “Bear Trap” is a meadow at Big Sandy Openings that held a big, wood, bear trap in the 1970s, “Poverty Flats” was north of Marbleton, and the “Soapholes” are south of Daniel. “Eldorado” was a ranch WNW of Daniel where the Elder family lived. South of Boulder at Milepost 74 on the east side of US 191 is a tiny group of cottonwood trees (which used to be seasonally decorated by unknown elves). There are two homemade signs about 50 feet apart reading “Entering (& Leaving) Sand Springs Forest Area”. The signs are old and faded but still standing. “Graveyard Ridge” above Burnt Lake was named when one of 3 gold miners feigned illness and ran off with the gold when the others went to work. He was followed and shot on this ridge. Many years ago Bob, a Game & Fish biologist, was asked to help a USGS man with area names. Bob drove the map man all over the county telling him the names of lakes, rivers, buttes, meadows and mountains. They came to one trickling creek and the geologist asked for its name. Bob had no idea so answered, “Damned If I Know”. The USGS man duly recorded “Damifino Creek”. It is fun to touch upon a few of Sublette County’s colorful names.
