1953 Map of Lewiston Lakes

About this map

The historic Oregon Trail cuts through this high desert landscape, tracing a path south of McLean Meadows and the Lewiston Lakes. This 1953 field check captures a rugged ranching and transit corridor in Fremont County, where seasonal livestock operations are marked by sites like Yellowstone Cow Camp and Caneys Cabin. The terrain is defined by the sharp descent from Beaver Rim toward the Sweetwater River, a vital water source in an otherwise arid expanse dominated by the Antelope Hills.
