1961 Map of Sibley Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The historical transit corridors of the Emigrant Trail and the Chicago and North Western Railroad intersect this landscape, marking the evolution of Wyoming's transport routes from wagon ruts to iron rails. Near the rail line, an Oregon Trail Marker and the Pony Express Sta stand as landmarks to the region's westward expansion history. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Sibley Peak and Anvil Peak, while water resources like the Glendo Reservoir and Downey Reservoir Number One highlight the development of the Missouri River Basin. Local family names are anchored to the land at Sommers Hill and Sommers Draw, providing specific points of interest for genealogists. The presence of the Horseshoe Cem and scattered Spring sites further illustrates the thin but deliberate settlement pattern typical of Platte County’s high plains during this era.
