1937 Map of Moccasin Lake

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation dominates this 1930s landscape, illustrating a high-altitude wilderness defined by the Continental Divide and the headwaters of the Little Wind River. The map highlights a network of trails and rudimentary roads, including the Washakie Trail and Trout Creek Road, which provided access to remote outposts like the Ranger Station and the North Fork Guard Sta. The hydrological character of the region is evident in the numerous alpine basins, including Washakie Reservoir, Shoshone Lake, and Moccasin Lake. The intersection of the Bridge National Forest and the reservation boundary showcases a transition in land management during an era of expanding forestry and irrigation infrastructure. Prominent peaks such as Lizard Head Pk and Mt Popo Agie serve as natural landmarks for early backcountry navigation.
