1970 Map of Fort La Clede

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Fort La Clede (Ruins) and the La Clede Stage Sta (Ruins) anchor this 1970 snapshot of the Wyoming high desert, marking a critical corridor of westward expansion. The legendary Overland Trail cuts across the landscape, tracing a path through the sagebrush south of the prominent Delaney Rim. This era of the survey reveals the intersection of pioneer history and mid-century industry, as seen by the presence of an Oil Well north of Bitter Creek. The intricate drainage network of Antelope Creek, Laney Wash, and numerous draws like Hungry Hollow and Eagle Nest Draw illustrates the complex topography that travelers and early settlers navigated. The map documents the physical remains of the frontier's communication and defense infrastructure long after the primary stage lines had ceased operations.
