The map serves as a geographic record of the western migration corridor, prominently featuring the Emigrant Trail as it crosses from the Sweetwater River drainage over the divide. Notable historical markers are documented throughout, including the Summit of the Original South Pass and a Pioneer Grave near Hay Meadow Reservoir.
