Vintage Postcard RPPC Bitter Creek Wyoming Lincoln Hwy US30 American Desert Road

This card captures a historic view of America's first transcontinental automobile route, titled Bitter Creek on the Lincoln Highway (U.S. 30) Wyo. The open asphalt road cuts directly through the rugged, arid clay cliffs and bluffs of Sweetwater County, Wyoming, running parallel to a classic line of telegraph poles and railroad tracks in the valley below. Real photo postcards like this were essential keepsakes for early cross-country road-trippers navigating the vast, isolating stretches of the Wyoming desert.
