1969 Map of Leckie SW

About this map

The Emigrant Trail (Lander Cutoff) cuts across this high-desert landscape in Sublette County, tracing a vital historical path for westward migration. This 1969 field survey documents the rugged geography of the western slope, where the Big Sandy River meanders through deep bends in the southeastern corner. The map highlights the intersection of overland travel history and twentieth-century water management, featuring both Historical Monuments along the old trail and infrastructure like Sandy Big Bend Reservoir No 1 and Sandy Big Bend Reservoir No 2. Further north, Muddy Creek and South Muddy Creek drain the open terrain, punctuated only by isolated landmarks such as Sandy Flat Well and the Boundary Line Well.
