About this map

Gros Ventre River and Green River headwaters define this 1907 survey of western Wyoming, a landscape characterized by isolated homesteads and high-altitude basins. The map documents the early ranching footprint of the region, featuring numerous family-named sites such as Lloyds Ranch, Darwin's Ranch, and Reasor's Ranch. These settlements are scattered along creek drainages like Fish Creek and Beaver Creek, often miles apart.

A notable shift in settlement is visible at the junction of Twin Creek and the Green River, where both Kendall and Old Kendall are marked near the Twin Creek School. The topography is exceptionally detailed, capturing prominent landmarks from Doubletop Peak to the Hot Springs in the Granite Hills. The boundary between Uinta Co and Fremont Co bisects the eastern portion of the sheet, providing a clear record of early political and forest service divisions across the Teton National Forest and Wyoming National Forest.
