About this map

Atlantic City serves as the focal point of this high-desert mining and ranching landscape, where the legacy of the Gold Rush era is written into the local geography through names like Beer Garden Gulch, Slaughterhouse Gulch, and the Custom Mill. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of historic transportation routes, including the iconic Oregon Trl and the Point Of Rocks S Pass Stag Rd, which cross the high plains south of the settlement.

Water management is central to life here, evidenced by the complex system of irrigation such as the Rock Creek Ditch and Beaver Dam Ditch that support active ranching operations like the Eight Lazy Y Ranch. Along the Sweetwater River in the southern portion of the map, Last Crossing Ford Number 9 marks a specific point of historical transit, illustrating how pioneers and locals alike negotiated the winding river during the height of western migration.
