About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation landscape in the late 1960s is defined by a sparse network of water sources and the industrial footprint of energy extraction. The Circle Ridge Oil Field and the Maverick Spring Dome dominate the eastern topography, supported by infrastructure like a Pumping Sta, a Water Tank, and scattered oil wells. This arid Fremont County terrain relies on intermittent drainages such as Dry Muddy Creek and localized water points like Red Spring and Kanaugh Lake.

Human presence is marked by isolated outposts and topographical landmarks that served early ranchers and surveyors. Named locations such as Vincent Cabin, Collins Place, and the Porter Cabin Cow Camp suggest a history of seasonal or high-country habitation. The map also delineates the northern border between Hot Springs Co and Fremont Co, where the elevation climbs toward Red Peak and the high ridges above Antelope Creek.
