1943 Map of Moccasin Lake

About this map

The Continental Divide defines the western high ground of this 1930s survey, marking the boundary between Fremont and Sublette counties. Much of the landscape is contained within the Wind River Indian Reservation and the Washakie National Forest, showcasing a transition from the alpine summits of Cathedral Peak and Lizard Head Peak down to the high meadows of Mosquito Park. The distribution of Ranger Stations and the North Fork Guard Sta alongside the Washakie Trail suggests a landscape managed for conservation and seasonal grazing. The drainage network is complex, feeding from high-elevation basins like Valentine Lake and Moccasin Lake toward the Washakie Reservoir and Little Wind River. This topography reveals the essential water sources that sustained the region's wilderness management and tribal land use during the mid-20th century.
