1954 Map of Sage

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Bear River valley and its surrounding high ridges define this portion of Lincoln County, Wyoming, as mapped during the mid-1950s. The landscape reflects a dual economy of irrigation and industry, with the Union Pacific railroad corridor serving as the primary lifeline through the valley. Small settlements such as Sage, Leefe, and Beckwith anchor the rail line, while the Sage Cem provides a focal point for genealogical interest in the area. Water management is central to the valley's development, evidenced by the Pixley Dam, the Covey Canal, and several named ditches like the McFarland Ditch and Pixley Ditch. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Tungre mountains, carved by numerous canyons including Watercress Canyon and Nugget Canyon, where Emigrant Spring hints at the historic transit through these passes.
