About this map

The historical Overland Trail cuts across this high-plains landscape, marking a vital transit corridor through Carbon County. This 1983 survey preserves the location of the Sage Creek Stage Station (Site), a crucial stop for travelers and mail long before the development of modern highways. The drainage network is defined by numerous seasonal and perennial watercourses, including Little Sage Creek, Miller Creek, and Deadman Creek, which dictate the movement of both historic trails and later routes like Bolten Road.

A sense of the era’s land use is evident in the presence of a Drill Hole and the reliable water source at Deadman Springs. These features illustrate the intersection of pioneer-era transportation and later resource exploration. The map also traces the winding paths of Marsh Creek, Rasmussen Creek, and Lone Tree Creek, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns that shaped ranching and settlement in this portion of Wyoming.
