1967 Map of Bain Draw

About this map

The East Fork Wind River and its confluence with Wiggins Fork dominate this landscape within the Wind River Indian Reservation. This 1967 field-checked survey highlights the early ranching and water infrastructure of the region, specifically noted through the path of the Circle Ditch. Local activity is anchored by family-named landmarks and homesteads, including the Finley Ranch, Double Diamond Ranch, and Bain Place. The terrain transitions from the water-rich bottomlands of the forks up to the prominent elevations of Upper Table and Lower Table. These plateaus are dissected by numerous drainages such as Bain Draw and Harvey Draw, where a network of jeep trails provides access through the high country. For the researcher, the map preserves the location of the Dennison settlement and several remote drill holes, reflecting the mid-century exploration of this Wyoming basin.
