1956 Map of Indian Point

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in the mid-1950s, where seasonal livestock management and remote homesteading shaped the local geography. The map captures a network of specialized mountain outposts, including the Rocking Chair Cow Camp and Spring Mountain Cow Camp, alongside family-named landmarks like the Simmerson Place and Eastman Place. These sites represent the vital summer grazing economy of the era, connected by a system of rugged paths such as the Wiggins Fork Trail and Indian Point Trail.
