1968 Map of Anderson Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Emigrant Trail (Sublette Cutoff) traces a diagonal path across this high-desert landscape, marking a vital historical corridor for westward travelers in the Lincoln and Sweetwater County borderlands. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is defined by deep drainage systems including Steed Canyon, Delaney Canyon, and the sprawling Anderson Canyon. The map reveals a transition toward modern industrial use with several Drill Hole sites and water resources like Little Colorado Well No 6 and Little Colorado Well No 5. Transportation in this era relied on a network of rugged paths, such as the Colorado Road and various Jeep Trail segments, reflecting the intersection of historic migration routes with mid-century resource exploration in the Wyoming interior.
