1953 Map of Cony Mountain

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the Middle Popo Agie River carves through the terrain toward the dramatic Popo Agie Falls. In the early 1950s, this region of the Wind River Range served as a vital recreational and agricultural resource, evidenced by the Fremont County Youth Camp and the intricate Enterprise Supply Ditch system. The map documents a network of historic pathways, including the Petes Lake Trail and Shoshone Trail, which provided access to remote alpine basins and meadows such as Wild Horse Meadow and Upper Hudson Meadow. From the summit of Cony Mountain down to the Little Popo Agie Basin, the geography is characterized by glacial lakes like Fiddlers Lake and Leg Lake, connected by rugged drainages such as Silas Canyon and Atlantic Canyon.
