About this map

Mountain Meadows and high-altitude plateaus define this corner of the Wind River Indian Reservation in the late 1960s. The landscape is dominated by the massive profile of Crow Mountain, which overlooks the deeply etched drainage of Crow Creek Canyon and the expansive Crow Creek Basin to the east. This terrain is characterized by a network of seasonal water sources such as Cantrell Spring and several unnamed springs that supported the area's grazing and wildlife.

Evidence of human activity is sparse, primarily restricted to a system of primitive jeep trails and footpaths that navigate the complex topography of Wildcat Draw, Sand Draw, and Jenkins Draw. A Gaging Sta on Crow Creek suggests the importance of water management in this arid region. The presence of Lower Table and various draws highlights the geological transition between the mountain peaks and the lower valley floors, providing a record of the remote back-country infrastructure of Fremont County before modern development.
