About this map

Wind River and its glacial-fed tributaries define the geography of this Fremont County landscape, as documented during the mid-1950s. The region is characterized by established high-country ranching operations, including the E A Ranch and the Rocking Chair Ranch, which utilized the local hydrology for irrigation via features like the Leseburg Ditch. A significant institutional landmark, the State Fish Hatchery, is situated near the confluence of Lakeys Creek and the river, highlighting the importance of fisheries management in the Missouri River Basin development program.
