About this map

The town of Cokeville sits at the confluence of the Bear River and Smiths Fork, serving as a vital hub where water, rail, and trail history converge. The Union Pacific railroad parallels the river, underscoring the town's importance as a transportation corridor during the mid-20th century. Highlighting the area's deep pioneer roots, the map traces the Emigrant Trail and the Sublette Cutoff, which skirt the edges of Stoffer Ridge and Sublette Ridge.

Agricultural development is evident through an extensive network of irrigation, including the Covey Canal, Mau Ditch, and the Stoner Nelson Wheelock DITCH. To the east, the landscape transitions from the flats of Sublette Flat to the higher elevations of Big Hill and Rocky Point. Local infrastructure is further detailed by the Cokeville Municipal Airport, the Cokeville Cem, and various industrial sites like the Quarry and numerous Prospects.
