1952 Map of Bargee

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation landscape is defined here by the intersection of early ranching life and historical transportation routes in Wyoming. The Holland Place (Old Stage Station) along Holland Creek serves as a reminder of the era's stagecoach travel, situated near the winding Mail Camp Road. This 1952 field-checked survey highlights the community infrastructure of the period, including the Bargee School and the Mail Camp Ranger Station. The drainage systems of Bargee Creek and Warm Springs Creek sustain local operations like the Bargee Ranch and Bradford Ranch, while the surrounding terrain is marked by Antelope Ridge and Sheep Ridge. These features illustrate a mid-century period where remote ranching and government administration coexisted within the high country geography of Merritt Pass and the Creek Mountains.
