1949 Map of Pratts Soda Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Emigrant Trail cuts across this high plains landscape of Natrona County, marking a historic corridor of western movement through a region defined by its industrial resources. At the mid-century, energy extraction and mining activity are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Swigart Coal Mine and Blue Rock Coal Mine located south of the distinctive water features. A network of infrastructure supports these operations, including several Windmills scattered across the terrain and the Geary Dome Road to the south. The hydrology is unique, characterized by the namesake Pratts Soda Lakes and the ominously named Suicide Soda Lake. These alkaline water bodies, along with the drainage of Sand Creek, shape the settlement pattern and land use in this part of the Missouri River Basin development program.
