1961 Map of Goose Egg

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The North Platte River winds through this landscape just west of the burgeoning outskirts of Casper, revealing a transition from agricultural ranch land to mid-century suburban development. Significant historical layers are visible here, most notably the path of the Emigrant Trail and the documented Custard Massacre Site located near the riverbank. Industrial infrastructure like the Chicago and North Western and Casper Burlington Northern railroads parallel the river, supporting an economy evidenced by several Gravel Pits and an Oil Tank Farm. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the timbered slopes of Casper Mountain. Residential growth is centered around Mountain View and the Paradise Valley Country Club, while more traditional ranching continues at sites like the Squaw Creek Ranch.
