1965 Map of Bridger

About this map

Bridger and Antelope serve as the primary focal points of this high-altitude Wyoming landscape, situated along the vital east-west corridor of the Union Pacific railroad. The topography is defined by the striking north-south orientation of The Hogsback, which separates the wide Cumberland Flats to the west from the complex drainage systems of Muddy Creek and its various tributaries to the east. Several geological and industrial markers dot the area, including Gravel Pits near Clear Creek and a recorded Drill Hole in the northern interior. The local road network, including the Carter Cutoff Road and Highway 189, reflects a history of transit through the high desert, while landmarks like Scullys Gap and the family-named Albert provide essential orientation in this terrain of draws and springs.
