About this map

Ethete sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, where the Little Wind River and Trout Cr converge. The area is defined by its deep cultural roots and geothermal activity, notably Washakie Mineral Hot Springs and the nearby Tardy Geyser. Irrigation systems like the Coolidge Canal reflect the agricultural development of the region, drawing water to support the surrounding allotments and homesteads.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds throughout the terrain, including Saint Michael Cem, White Plume Cem, Red Man Cem, and the Wallowing Bull Cem. These sites, along with Friday Cem and Willow Cem, are often situated near landmarks like Bighorn Ridge or along local routes such as Ethete Rd and Yellow Calf Rd. The presence of these named cemeteries and unique natural features like Tar Spring provides a detailed look at the local geography and lineage of Fremont County.
