Located on the plains close to Steamboat Mountain which was a Shoshone Indian holy site and the location of an ancient Native American buffalo jump hunt site. On the 42nd parallel which crosses the Continental Divide it is located at a dividing point between the Spanish Territory to the south, British territory to the northwest and French Territory to the northeast. The French Territory was sold to the U.S. in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Great Britain transferred the northwest portion to the U.S. in 1824 as Oregon Territory and when Mexico ceded the southern territory to the U.S. in 1848, all of Wyoming became part of the United States. Stand and view the wide open space and imagine what it was like in the 1800s.
