1951 Map of Stampede Meadow

About this map

The Sweetwater River winds through this central Wyoming landscape, serving as a vital corridor for both natural drainage and historical westward migration. Near the rugged slopes of the Granite Mountains, the map identifies several early-century agricultural outposts, including the Grieve Ranch, McIntosh Ranch, and Claytor Ranch, alongside the Claytor School. This 1951 survey provides significant value for historians of the American West by documenting the Emigrant Oregon Trail (Approximate Location). It also pinpoints the Approximate Location Historical Site "Three Crossings" and a Historical Site (Stage Station and Store) near a Diversion Dam, preserving the memory of the stage stations and stores that once supported travelers across Stampede Meadow and along the Buffalo Creek.
