The Emigrant Trail cuts a historical path through this portion of Scotts Bluff County, tracing a route used by westward travelers across the Roubadeau Pass. This mid-century survey records the landscape just as the Department of the Interior was focusing on the development of the Missouri River Basin, evidenced by the intricate network of the Fort Laramie Canal, Mitchell Canal, and Gering Canal. These waterways navigate the elevation changes of the Wildcat Hills, providing essential irrigation to the high plains.
