This is a 1936 Grace Raymond Hebard and Paul M. Paine pictorial map of Wyoming celebrating and romanticizing the state's pioneer history. Stylized vignettes of covered wagons, stagecoaches, cowboys, and Indians reinforce the stereotypical views of Wyoming during its early days as a territory. Historical references abound, with the Texas Trail, Bozeman Trail, Old Oregon Trail, and Overland Trail defined. Both Laramie and Cheyenne are labeled, along with Jackson Hole and Cody, noted as the 'Home of Buffalo Bill'. Other comments mark battles between Indians and U.S. soldiers, frontier forts, and areas explored by 'some pioneers of Wyoming'. Both Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park are identified in the upper-left corner of the state. Wyoming's counties are illustrated and labeled as well, along with mountain ranges and the state's many rivers. Vignettes appear along the left and right borders and illustrate a wagon train, a Pony Express transfer, and the state's flag. A longhorn steer, two elk, and two meadowlark, all important parts of Wyoming's history, adorn the map's top border. (more details)
