1961 Map of Brookhurst

About this map

The North Platte River carves through this Natrona County landscape, serving as a corridor for industrial development and historical transit. Near Brookhurst, a Refinery and Gravel Pit indicate the mid-century energy and infrastructure growth centered around the Chicago and North Western and Burlington Northern railroads. These modern industrial lines parallel the path of the historic Emigrant Trail, which traces the river's northern bank toward Pearson.
