1967 Map of Bain Draw

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation boundary cuts through this Wyoming landscape, where the confluence of the Wiggins Fork and the East Fork Wind River forms a central drainage network. Settlement in the late 1960s is characterized by scattered ranching outposts and named residences like Finley Ranch, Double Diamond Ranch, and Bain Place. The presence of the Circle Ditch indicates the essential role of water management in supporting these remote homesteads. Terrain features like Upper Table and Lower Table rise above numerous drainages, including Bain Draw and Harvey Draw. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of traversal across the high ground, connecting the river bottoms to the higher ridges where several Drill Holes suggest mid-century exploration of the area's subsurface resources.
