1961 Map of Cassa

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

North Platte River waters dominate this central Wyoming landscape, where the construction of the Glendo Dam created the expansive Glendo Reservoir and adjacent Glendo State Park. This mid-century survey documents the area's transition into a regional water management and recreation hub while preserving the older pathways of Western expansion. The historic Emigrant Trail tracks through the western hills, passing Twin Springs and crossing Bear Creek. To the east, the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad follows the river's winding course through Wendover Canyon and past the small settlement of Cassa. High points like Baldy Mtn overlook a complex system of draws and flats, including Gyp Flat and Buckshot Draw, which reveal the arid, dissected nature of the Platte and Wyoming County borderlands during the early 1960s.
