About this map

Emigrant Trl and the historic Lander Cutoff Rd cut across this landscape, tracing the path of early western migration through Sublette County. The terrain is defined by high-altitude features like Muddy Ridge and Little Prospect Mtn, while the Big Sandy River and its tributaries, such as Sheep Cr and Dutch Joe Cr, provide vital water sources in this high-desert environment.

Resource management and grazing history are evident through the numerous man-made water catchments like Tally Pit Reservoir, Blue Pit Reservoir, and Zembo Reservoir. The presence of Bear Trap and the settlement of Leckie suggest a landscape used for seasonal ranching and hunting, much of it contained within the northern reaches of the Bridger National Forest. The map captures the enduring legacy of the overland trails in a modern context, where traditional travel routes still dictate the modern road network.
