1951 Map of Stampede Meadow

About this map

The Sweetwater River flows through this high-desert landscape in central Wyoming, serving as a vital corridor for both 19th-century pioneers and mid-20th-century ranchers. This survey documents the Emigrant Oregon Trail as it parallels the river, passing significant landmarks like the Historical Site "Three Crossings" and a Historical Site (Stage Station and Grave). These locations provide tangible links to the era of western migration and the Pony Express route.
