2012 Map of Overland Crossing

About this map

The N Platte River carves a winding path through this Wyoming landscape, defining a region where river bottomlands and high plains meet. The geography is marked by historic agricultural and ranching sites, such as the Old McKeal Place and the Old Haymaker Place, which suggest generations of land use tied to the river's flow. Genealogy interests are centered around the Pioneer Cem located near Johnson Island, a critical site for tracing early families in the area. The map reveals an economy transitioning from early resource extraction, noted by Coal Banks and Coal Mine Draw, to established ranching operations like the Shultz Ranch and Pick Ranch. Transportation across the waterway is anchored by Pick Bridge and Pick Bridge RD, providing vital links between isolated meadows and grazing lands.
