1951 Map of Indian Butte

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation landscape is defined here by its intersection with major industrial corridors in the mid-20th century. Highlighting the northern section of the map, the Chicago and North Western railway runs parallel to the Wind River, tracing a narrow path of infrastructure through the high plains. A network of essential services, including a Telephone Line and Pipe Line, follows this same transit spine, signaling the region's importance as a mid-century energy and communications conduit.
