1980 Map of Medicine Bow
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Hanna and the adjacent town of Elmo stand as central points of industry in this Wyoming landscape, where the Strip Mine and Vanguard Mine No 1 reflect the region's coal legacy. The map captures a critical transportation corridor where the historic Overland Trail is shadowed by modern improvements, following the path of the Union Pacific Railroad through the plains. To the south, the massive bulk of Elk Mountain dominates the horizon above McFadden, while the northern reaches are defined by the Seminoe Reservoir and the North Platte River. This 1:100,000 scale survey illustrates the relationship between these rail towns and the natural geography of the Como Bluffs and Saint Marys Ridge, providing a clear picture of the High Plains environment before the turn of the 21st century.
