1955 Map of Lander
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Lander and the southern reaches of the Wind River Range dominate this mid-century survey, which tracks the high-altitude transition across the Continental Divide. The map details the rugged intersection of the Wind River Indian Reservation and the vast Shoshone National Forest, reaching toward the prominent peaks of Square Top Mountain and Wind River Peak. Historical interest is anchored at the southern end of the range by South Pass City (Historical Site) and Atlantic City (Historical Site), remnants of early mining and migration routes. To the west, the landscape opens into the Great Divide Basin, featuring the Big Sandy Reservoir and the Boulder Weather Research Site AF near Pinedale. This edition reflects the mid-20th-century road network, including U.S. 287 and Wyoming 28, connecting the ranching and resource hubs of Hudson and Farson.
