1953 Map of Mount Arter

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation and Shoshone National Forest meet in this 1953 field-checked survey of the Wyoming high country. The landscape is defined by the dramatic descent from the summit of Mount Arter and Cyclone Pass toward the Wind River and the North Fork Popo Agie River. This map captures a remote transitional zone where alpine wilderness gives way to early twentieth-century grazing and homesteading.
