About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation dominates this 1952 topographic study, showcasing a landscape of high ridges and deep water drainages in Fremont County. Central to the map is the prominent peak of Crow Mountain, which serves as a significant visual anchor for the surrounding terrain. To its west, the open expanse of Kirkland Park sits between the rising slopes of the mountain and the various forks of the local creek systems.

Hydrological patterns are defined by the Bull Lake Creek in the south and the North Fork and South Fork further north. This area is characterized by long, parallel elevations like Spring Ridge, Cedar Ridge, and Bull Ridge, which guide the flow of smaller tributaries such as Meadow Creek and Willow Creek. The map provides a look at the geography before modern development, focusing on the natural contours and the designated reservation boundaries.
