1958 Map of Continental Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

The Emigrant Trail and the Oregon South Pass Stage Road dominate the northern terrain of this quadrangle, tracing the historic movement of travelers through the high sagebrush and sloughs of central Wyoming. This landscape is defined by its drainage patterns and prominent landmarks, centered on the heights of Continental Peak near the boundary of Fremont Co Sweetwater Co. The map captures the arid character of the region through numerous named drainages, including Meadow Creek and Oregon Slough. To the south, the intricate erosional features of the Honeycomb Buttes stand above Red Creek and the North Fork Bear Creek. This 1950s record provides a clear look at the transcontinental paths that once funneled thousands of pioneers westward, long after the height of the wagon era but before modern development altered these historic corridors.
