2015 Map of Savage Peak

About this map

Savage Peak dominates the high-elevation terrain of this Wyoming landscape, where the administrative boundary of the Natrona Co and Carbon Co line cuts across a network of seasonal drainages and historic routes. The Sweetwater River meanders through the central basin, supported by irrigation efforts such as the Turkey Track Ditch and fed by numerous tributaries including Muddy Cr and Cherry Cr. Historic travel is etched into the earth here, most notably by the W Oregon Trl, which follows the river's path, marking a corridor once vital for westward migration. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation details the modern interface between these early trails and contemporary access points like CR-499 and W Turkey Track Rd, while identifying secluded landmarks like Savage Pocket and Jackson Lake.
