1951 Map of Hidden Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation dominates this central Wyoming landscape, where the confluence of the Wind River and several major tributaries creates a complex network of waterways and irrigation infrastructure. The era's focus on land development is evident in the extensive water management systems, including the Fivemile Ditch, Pilot Canal, and various siphons and pipe lines that crisscross the valley. Cultural landmarks like the Valley View Store and Shoshoni City Cemetery provide touchpoints for local history, while the Chicago and Northwestern railroad tracks trace a vital transportation corridor through the rugged terrain of Hidden Valley. A notable geographic feature is the blue hachured area marking the proposed Boysen Reservoir, indicating the impending transformation of this basin. Geologic and industrial activity is represented by the Gravel Pit near the river, while natural drainages like Poison Creek and Muskrat Creek define the arid topography.
