1952 Map of Hays Park

About this map

Sacagawea Ridge and the heights of the Wind River Range dominate this mid-century topographic study, which defines the meeting point of the Wind River Indian Reservation and Shoshone National Forest. The landscape is characterized by high alpine drainage systems where Dinwoody Creek flows past Upper Dinwoody Lake and a Natural Bridge. The survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the eastern slope, with water moving through Little Dry Creek and Dry Creek toward the valley below. Geographic interest is centered on high-altitude landmarks like Dinwoody Peak and the namesake Hays Park area. For researchers, the map provides precise placement of the Reservation Boundary and early mountain routes such as the Gannett Road, documenting the intersection of tribal lands and federal forest management during the post-war era.
