2015 Map of Overland

About this map

The Historic Overland Trl cuts across the northern reaches of this Wyoming landscape, marking a legacy of westward migration through Carbon County. Situated near the settlement of Overland, the terrain is defined by broad alluvial features like Overland Flats and Lake Creek Flats, which transition into the seasonal waters of Lake Creek Lake. The southern boundary is anchored by the North Platte River, where the Pick Ditch and various local ranch roads like Silver Sage Ranch Rd indicate a rural economy tied to the river's path. Distinctive landforms such as Sheep Rock and Sixmile Hill provide vertical relief against the surrounding basins. This 2015 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure, including Fish Hatchery Rd and Pass Creek Rd, follows the same natural corridors used by early travelers, documenting a continuity of movement through the Sand Basin and Hay Meadows area.
