1907 Map of Gros Ventre

About this map

The Gros Ventre Range dominates this 1907 survey, a landscape defined by an early ranching economy and the high mountain terrain of western Wyoming. Deep within the Teton National Forest and Bridger National Forest, dozens of homesteads are recorded, including Lloyds Ranch, Darwin's Ranch, and Robinson's Ranch, mapping a period when private landholdings were sparse and tied closely to water sources like the Hoback River and Green River. Notable for local historians is the site of Kendall and Old Kendall near the riverbanks, as well as the isolated Twin Creek School. The map also captures natural landmarks such as Granite Falls and the nearby Hot Springs, providing a rare look at the area's development before it became primarily known for modern recreation and conservation.
