1951 Map of Fort Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Oregon Trail cuts through the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape, following the course of the Sweetwater River. This 1951 field-checked survey documents a transition between early westward migration history and mid-century resource extraction. Near the river, the Sweetwater Pony Express Sta (Ruins) serves as a physical remnant of the region's 19th-century mail route, situated just north of the prominent Sentinel Rocks.
