1951 Map of Savage Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Sweetwater Rocks dominate the northeastern landscape of this 1951 survey, a high-relief terrain that gives way to the winding course of the Sweetwater River. This area serves as a critical corridor for westward expansion history, marked by the Oregon Trail (Approximate Location) crossing the central plains. The map reveals the intricate water management of the era, including the Jackson Lake reservoir and the Turkey Track Ditch (Abandoned), which once diverted water for cattle or irrigation. Small tributaries like Muddy Creek, Whiskey Creek, and Cherry Creek feed into the river system. A lonely Historical Marker stands near the boundary of Natrona and Carbon Counties, signaling the significance of this high-desert passage to early pioneers and surveyors working for the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program.
