About this map

The Shoshone National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, where the Wood River flows through a broad alluvial basin known as The Meadows. This 1969 field check captures a transitional zone between high-altitude alpine lakes and early recreational development. To the north, the Dick Creek Lakes sit at the headwaters of Dick Creek, while the valley floor below Brown Mountain contains established outposts like the Brown Mountain Campground and the Wood River Campground.

Evidence of private land use appears at the Double D Ranch near the western edge of the survey. The drainage network is complex, featuring the Middle Fork Wood River and South Fork Wood River, which intersect with numerous tributaries such as Dundee Creek and Beaver Creek. The topography is defined by significant elevations, including Dundee Mountain, which anchors the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. A system of high-country paths, labeled simply as Trail, connects these waterways across the divide.
