About this map

The Little Wind River and its accompanying hydrological features define this portion of the Wind River Reservation. Unique geothermal landmarks like Washakie Mineral Hot Springs and the Tar Tardy Spring Geyser highlight the area's active geology near the community of Ethete. The landscape is etched by irrigation and water management, visible in the Coolidge Canal and numerous unnamed ditches that support local agriculture.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for the distribution of family-named cemeteries and rural burial sites. From the Saint Michael Cem in the south to White Plume Cem, Wallowing Bull Cem, and Red Man Cem further north, the map preserves the location of many local interment sites. Named draws such as Johnstown Draw and Bighorn Draw descend from the heights of Bighorn Ridge, while local roads like Yellow Calf Rd and Chief Friday Ln connect the scattered homesteads and settlements.
