1955 Map of Meads

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Overland Trail cuts a historic path across the central landscape of this Wyoming survey, passing near the Stage Station (Site of) and the open expanse of Overland Flats. This corridor represents a vital artery of mid-19th-century western migration and transport, now mirrored by the modern infrastructure of the Union Pacific railroad and a network of pipelines and telephone lines. To the north, the small settlement of Walcott Junction and a nearby Trailer Park mark the intersection of rail and road, while the surrounding territory is defined by family-held operations like Peterson Ranch and Crone Ranch. The terrain transitions from the dunes of Sand Basin to the drainage of Pass Creek, illustrating the working landscape of Carbon County as it balanced traditional ranching with emerging energy infrastructure through the mid-20th century.
