| Crosby is located in "Coal Draw" just south of Gebo, but not marked on the map. A house, mine superstructure and tailings piles remain. This town was named for Jesse W. Crosby, Mormon pioneer. The town was started by Dad Jones, prospector and miner, who supplied Thermopolis with coal from Crosby in the early 1890's. The coal mines closed here in 1932. Just seven years earlier, there were 125 kids in the Crosby school. Submitted by: Ryan J. Hill |
