1953 Map of Lewiston Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

The Oregon Trail cuts through this high desert landscape, marking a historic corridor of western migration that remains etched across the terrain into the mid-20th century. The Sweetwater River carves a deep, winding path through the center of the sheet, bordered to the south by the Antelope Hills. This territory in Fremont County reflects a ranching and livestock economy, evidenced by several seasonal outposts including Yellowstone Cow Camp, Cow Camp, and the solitary Caneys Cabin near McLean Meadows. Water management is central to life here, with features like the Oregon Arnold Ditch and Silver Creek Reservoir appearing alongside numerous named sources such as Diamond Springs and Immigrant Springs. The presence of Lower Mormon Spring and Upper Mormon Spring near Mormon Creek further underscores the genealogical and historical layers of travel and settlement in this portion of the Missouri River Basin.
