1955 Map of Overland

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The historical Overland Trail cuts diagonally across this high-plains landscape, marking a legacy of westward migration north of the North Platte River. By the mid-1950s, the terrain is defined by a mix of early transportation corridors and ranching interests, featuring the Union Pacific railroad and the remote outpost at Overland. A Historical Monument near the north edge of the sheet commemorates the region's heritage, while the site of Midway (Old Stage Station) provides a specific anchor for those tracing the path of the original stage lines through Sand Basin. Toward the south, the landscape transitions into the river valley, where the Saratoga Fish Hatchery and family-held lands like Byers Ranch and Eatons Ranch show the localized development of Carbon County's water resources and livestock operations.
