1958 Map of Continental Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Emigrant Trail tracks across the northern expanse of this 1950s high-desert survey, marking the historic corridor used by thousands of westward travelers. The landscape is defined by the high prominence of Continental Peak and the unique formation of the Honeycomb Buttes along the border of Fremont and Sweetwater Counties. This territory served as a vital transit zone where the South Pass Stage Road intersected with rugged drainage systems like Oregon Slough and Meadow Creek. The mapping effort, part of the Missouri River Basin development program, details a network of Jeep Trails providing access to remote water sources such as Sand Creek and Harris Slough. These desert waterways and livestock-era tracks illustrate the sparse but essential infrastructure of mid-century Wyoming rangeland.
