About this map

Boysen Reservoir dominates this high-plains landscape, where the waters of the Wind River are impounded against the arid reaches of Sand Mesa and the Sand Hills. The mapping reflects a complex layering of land use during the mid-20th century, showing the intersection of the Wind River Indian Reservation with the Riverton Reclamation Withdrawal Area.

Infrastructure development is clearly visible through the transit corridors of the Chicago and North Western and Burlington and Quincy railroads. For those interested in the evolution of regional transportation, the map preserves the location of an Old Railroad Grade near the reservoir shoreline. Recreational and conservation interests are represented by the Wyoming State Wildlife Management Area and Boysen State Park, while natural drainage features like Lake Cameahwait and Muddy Creek define the underlying topography.
