About this map

Fort Washakie serves as the focal point of this Fremont County landscape, situated where the high plains meet the eastern slopes of the Wind River Range. The 2017 survey details a region defined by its vital water systems, including the North Fork Little Wind River and the South Fork Little Wind River. These natural waterways are supplemented by an engineered irrigation network featuring the N Fork Ditch Number 1 and N Fork Ditch Number 2, which trace the contours of the basin to support local agriculture and ranching.

Prominent landforms like Norkok Butte, Sandstone Butte, and the high Bighorn Ridge provide vertical relief against the broad grazing lands of Norkok Meadows and Countryman Basin. Local genealogy and community history are anchored at the Fort Washakie Cem, while the road network, including Sage Creek Rd and Washakie Park Rd, connects the scattered homesteads and topographical landmarks of the reservation.
