1956 Map of Indian Point

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the Wiggins Fork cuts through deep valleys between Elkhorn Ridge and Indian Ridge. The map documents a working livestock landscape of the mid-1950s, characterized by isolated outposts such as Rocking Chair Cow Camp and Spring Mountain Cow Camp. These seasonal camps, along with the East Fork Elk Winter Pasture Hdqrs, reveal the spatial organization of high-country ranching before modern infrastructure dominated the region.
