1953 Map of Sweetwater Station

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Sweetwater River meanders across this Fremont County landscape, carving a fertile valley through the arid terrain of central Wyoming in the early 1950s. This survey highlights a critical intersection of western history and local agriculture, where the historic route of the Oregon Trail runs parallel to the river and modern livestock operations. Family-named landmarks such as Countryman Ranch, Flagg Ranch, and Jamerman Ranch define the settlement pattern, anchored by the namesake hub at Sweetwater Station. A complex network of irrigation channels, including the Independent Ditch and the Farmsley and Farmsley Ditch, illustrates the engineering efforts required to sustain ranching in the Bison Basin area. Further north, isolated features like Carmody Lake and the Slide Windmill mark the open range of this high-plateau environment.
