1964 Map of Fort Bridger

About this map

Fort Bridger stands as a central landmark in this 1960s study of southwestern Wyoming, where the historic crossroads is mapped alongside its namesake Fort Bridger Canal and a designated Historical Site. The landscape reflects a transition from early pioneer routes to mid-century agricultural and industrial development. The path of the Emigrant Trail remains a visible thread across the terrain, passing through a high-altitude basin defined by Bridger Butte and Nebraska Flat. To the south, the settlement of Millburne is situated near the Blacks Fork river, supported by a network of local irrigation works like the Austin Canal. Genealogists will find specific value in the placement of the Fort Bridger Cem and Millburne Cem, while the presence of various quarries and gravel pits suggests the local material extraction economy of the era.
