1942 Map of Cokeville

About this map

Cokeville serves as the primary hub in this western Lincoln County landscape, situated where the Union Pacific railroad parallels the historic western migration corridors. The map remarkably preserves the physical routes of the Oregon Trail and the Lander Road as they navigate the high-altitude terrain between the Sublette Range and the Tunp Range. This area is a critical hydrological junction, documented by the Great Basin Colorado River Divide which snakes across the heights, separating the waters of Smiths Fork from the Hams Fork drainage.
