2012 Map of Fort La Clede NE

About this map

The Overland Emigrant Rd cuts a significant path through this part of Sweetwater County, tracing the historic movement of travelers across the Wyoming landscape. This 2012 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure, such as BLM Road 4410 and BLM Road 4411, interacts with the established emigrant trails. The terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainages that shape the arid environment south of the Red Desert. For researchers, the map provides precise documentation of remote access points like BLM Road 4409, which are essential for navigating this high-plains region. The sparse distribution of named features highlights the open, unsettled nature of this territory, where historic transportation routes remain the primary landmarks of human activity.
