1969 Map of Jensen Meadows

About this map

Continental Divide winds through this high-country landscape, marking the hydrological crest of the Wind River Range during the late 1960s. The map highlights a significant historical corridor for western migration, featuring the intersecting paths of the Emigrant Trail, Lander Road, and the Lander Cutoff. These routes converge near Jensen Meadows and the Mitchell Slough, illustrating the primary thoroughfares used by travelers and livestock moving through the region. To the north, the Dutch Joe Guard Station stands as a lonely outpost of administrative presence within the Bridger National Forest. The terrain is defined by its complex water network, including the headwaters of Little Sandy Creek and Chicken Creek, alongside high-elevation features like Block and Tackle Hill and the protected lands of the Bridger Wilderness.
