About this map

Wind River Range peaks dominate this early twentieth-century survey, revealing a landscape of high-altitude ranching and timber extraction. The map documents numerous early homesteads and seasonal camps, including Woolery's Ranch, Lozier's Ranch, and Petre's Ranch near the Kendall PO. These sites, along with various cabins like McShirleys Cabin and Millers Cabin, trace the footprints of early settlers and forest rangers before the area was more formally managed within the Teton National Forest and Shoshone National Forest.

Industry is represented by the Royal Mine and a Sawmill near Flattop Mtn, indicating the diverse economic activities attempted in this demanding terrain. Natural landmarks like the Natural Bridge and massive summits such as Fremont Peak and Mt Sacagawea serve as primary orientation points for travelers using the Indian Pass Trail. The intricate drainage patterns of the Green River and Torrey Creek are mapped with precision, showing the numerous glacial lakes that define the high basins.
