About this map

The historic Emigrant Trl winds through this high-elevation landscape of Lincoln County, tracing a path across the Tunp Range and through the Sublette Flat. This route, vital to westward expansion, follows the contours of the terrain between major peaks like Coke Mtn and the long expanse of Dempsey Ridge. The map illustrates a complex drainage network where the headwaters of Sublette Cr and the N Fork Dempsey Cr carve out deep canyons and draws.

Evidence of modern utility appears at the Circle B Airport on the western edge of the quadrangle, contrasted against the older landmarks of the ranching frontier. Genealogists and local historians can use this survey to locate specific landmarks like Drubby Spring or Lund Draw and trace the relationship between the natural water sources and the migration routes that defined early Wyoming settlement patterns.
