About this map

Wind River Indian Reservation Boundary defines the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the reservation meets the sprawling Shoshone National Forest. The area is characterized by a series of open meadows known as parks, including Hobbs Park, Sanford Park, and Pinto Park, which served as critical landmarks for early travelers and land managers. A Guard Sta. and Campground are situated near Dickinson Park, marking a hub of human activity within the otherwise remote terrain.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with the Popo Agie River and Shoshone Lake anchoring the southern half of the sheet. For those interested in the history of recreation and forest management, the network of routes like the Ranger Trail and Shoshone Trail illustrates how the Department of the Interior established access to high peaks such as Hobbs Peak and Black Mountain. The inclusion of Dishpan Butte and Cyclone Basin provides specific markers for tracking geological and geographical points used during the 1970s field checks.
