About this map

Dubois sits at the confluence of the Wind River and Little Warm Spring Creek in this 1956 survey, which was updated with aerial data through the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by the transition from the valley floor to the high elevations of the Shoshone National Forest, marked by distinctive landmarks like Chimney Rock and EA Mountain. The town's infrastructure includes the Dubois Airport, while evidence of earlier aviation history is found at a Landing Field (Aband) further east.

Agricultural and ranching heritage is visible through water management features like the Holmes No 1 Ditch and local landmarks such as Shipley Ranch. The varied terrain north of the river is broken by Wagon Gulch and Battrum Mountain, illustrating the complex drainage systems that feed into the main river valley. For those researching local history, the location of the Cem on the eastern edge of town and the various reservoirs like Hart Reservoir provide specific points of geographic interest.
