The artwork depicts a scene from the romantic era, showcasing a horse-drawn wagon train making its way through the vast plains along the Platte River.

The reflection of the wagons and horses in the calm waters adds depth and dimension to this panoramic image. Whittredge's composition not only showcases nature's beauty but also emphasizes human presence within it.
