The Lander Cut-off left the Oregon Trail at Burnt Ranch on the Sweetwater River near South Pass City, WY. Frederick Lander surveyed the trail in 1857. Tens of thousands of people passed over the trail during its use. With the Transcontinental Railroad being completed in 1869, emigrant travel over the trail rapidly declined. The last wagons over the trail were observed at Fort Piney, WY between 1910 and 1912. The Lander Cut-off rejoined the Oregon Trail in Idaho northeast of Pocatello at Ross Fork Creek.
