USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Oregon Trail winds across this central Wyoming landscape, marked by a specific Oregon Trail Marker near the southern bend of the North Platte River. This 1950 survey, conducted as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, details a region transitioning between historic westward migration routes and modern industrial utility. The Casper Canal and various irrigation ditches crisscross the area around Emigrant Gap Ridge, illustrating the mid-century effort to manage water in the arid high plains.
