1950 Map of Harris Bridge

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation dominates this landscape in central Wyoming, showing the intricate engineering required for the Riverton Reclamation Project (Withdrawal Area) during the mid-century. A network of irrigation infrastructure defines the local geography, notably the Wyoming Canal Extension and numerous labeled Ditch segments that carry water across the arid terrain. The map traces the natural path of Muddy Creek as it winds through the northern sections, contrasted by the rigid, man-made lines of the Wyoming Canal and the Main Lateral. These developments highlight the era's focus on transforming the Missouri River Basin through large-scale water management. Local landmarks like Harris Bridge near Fivemile Creek and the prominent Muddy Ridge provide essential reference points for genealogists and historians studying the impact of reclamation on indigenous lands and early agricultural settlement.
