1958 Map of Parting of the Ways

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Continental Divide crests across the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape, where the paths of nineteenth-century westward expansion converge and split. At the famous Emigrant Trail (Parting of the Ways), travelers faced the critical choice between the Sublette Cutoff or continuing toward Fort Bridger. The map documents the enduring footprint of these migrations, showing the Lander Cutoff and the Lander Pinedale Stage Road traversing the drainages of Dry Sandy Creek and Pacific Creek.
