About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates this landscape, characterized by complex drainage systems and the scientific infrastructure of the mid-twentieth century. The presence of the Waynes Creek Range Experiment Station and a nearby Radio Tower suggests the importance of range management and communication in this high-altitude region. Topographic detail reveals a network of water sources essential for livestock and wildlife, from Waynes Hole Spring to the distinct Alkali Bog (Mud Springs).

Administrative and private land use converge near the Wind River Indian Res Bdy. Along the southern reaches of the map, the East Fork Wind River flows past the Flying T Ranch and a small Landing Strip, while the Elk Winter Pasture (Hdqrs) near the Campground at Bear Creek marks the area's role in wildlife conservation. This 1967 field-checked data captures the transition between wilderness and managed western range.
