1951 Map of Clarkson Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Oregon Trail and Emigrant Trail paths cross the arid landscape of central Wyoming, tracing the historic route of westward expansion through Clarkson Hill. The geography is defined by the winding descent of Poison Spring Creek and Willow Creek toward the N Platte River, which cuts through the southeastern corner of the sheet. At the time of this mid-century field check, the landscape reflects a ranching and infrastructure economy, centered around the Clarkson Ranch and technical markers of the region's development like the Willow Creek Pumping Sta No 1. The intricate contouring illustrates the complex drainage patterns of Lone Tree Gulch and the broad expanse of Schrader Flats, while the irrigation network of the Casper Canal highlights human efforts to manage the high-desert environment for agricultural use in the Missouri River Basin.
