1955 Map of Overland Crossing

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The North Platte River winds through this Carbon County landscape, defining a corridor of early settlement and transportation in southern Wyoming. The map documents a historical intersection of routes, most notably the Overland Trail as it approaches the river crossing. The geography of the mid-1950s is marked by a transition from industrial coal extraction to established ranching, with the Coal Mines Banks and Coal Mine situated near the broad bends of Kent Meadows. Family legacies are preserved through numerous named sites such as the Old Mc Keal Place and Old Johnson Place, while the Overland Crossing Cem stands as a quiet marker of the area's frontier history. The river itself is punctuated by features like Johnson Island and Mc Keal Meadows, supporting a network of local roads including Bolten Road and Pick Road.
