Do you know of Pitchfork ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Pitchfork. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Pitchfork.<1>

Our sources for Pitchfork (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Pitchfork other than they indicate that Pitchfork would be found somewhere in Park County, Wyoming.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened in 1914 and closed in 1952.
