1951 Map of Savage Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Oregon Trail cuts through this high-desert landscape in the mid-20th century, following the southern banks of the meandering Sweetwater River. This map captures a crucial segment of the emigrant route near the border of Natrona and Carbon Counties, where a solitary Historical Marker stands as a monument to the overland journey. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the river valley toward the prominent Savage Peak and its surrounding topographical features like Savage Pocket and Ordway Pocket. Natural drainage patterns are well-documented, with named waterways such as Whiskey Creek, Muddy Creek, and Cherry Creek feeding into the Sweetwater. South of the river, Jackson Lake provides a notable landmark amidst the high-plains topography, while a modern Pipeline suggests the shifting industrial use of this historically significant corridor.
