1949 Map of Douglas
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The North Platte River winds through the heart of this Wyoming territory, serving as a corridor for generations of overland migration and early military presence. This survey documents a landscape thick with frontier history, notably the Site of Old Fort Fetterman and its accompanying Fort Fetterman Cemetery. The legacy of the westward expansion is explicitly recorded through the Old Fort Fetterman Reservation Boundary and markers for the Bozeman Trail and the Oregon Trail. To the south, the city of Douglas serves as a regional hub, featuring the State Fair Grounds and the Converse County Memorial Hospital. The surrounding plains are dotted with long-established cattle operations such as the Gibbs Ranch, Warner Ranch, and the Site of Hog Ranch, illustrating the transition from military outpost to a ranching-based economy connected by the Chicago and Northwestern railroad.
