About this map

The confluence of the Wiggins Fork and the East Fork Wind River dominates this landscape, where the braided waterways flow through the Wind River Indian Reservation. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts between the high plateau of Upper Table and the drainage systems of Bain Draw and Windmill Draw. This 1967 survey, later updated in 1979, illustrates a ranching landscape defined by family-named properties and isolated outposts.

Several established landmarks like Finley Ranch, Double Diamond Ranch, and the Bain Place provide fixed points of reference for local historians and genealogists tracing the settlement patterns of this corner of Fremont County. The network of Jeep Trails and unnamed roads connecting these sites to Dennison reflects the sparse, utilitarian transport infrastructure required for high-altitude livestock operations in the late 20th century.
