1960 Map of Emigrant Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The North Platte River winds through the southeastern corner of this landscape, creating the significant loop of Bessemer Bend near the landmark Red Buttes. This area preserves the tangible path of the Emigrant Trail, which cuts diagonally across the terrain toward the namesake Emigrant Gap ridge. The presence of the Old Goose Egg Ranchhouse (Ruins) and a dedicated Historical Marker points to the deep frontier heritage rooted in this river crossing.
