1991 Map of Mount Arter

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation and Shoshone National Forest meet in this 1991 revision, a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and high-altitude water sources. The North Popo Agie River carves through the northern portion of the map, fed by numerous drainages like Agie Canyon and Bragg Canyon. This area illustrates the transition from managed forest lands to tribal territory, marked by the Reservation Boundary running north-to-south. Settlement is sparse, represented by isolated outposts such as the Pine Bar Ranch, Hart Ranch, and the Farlow Homestead, which suggest a history of ranching and early irrigation efforts like the Standish Ditch. Notable geographic landmarks including Suicide Point, Mount Arter, and Cyclone Pass provide significant orientation points for genealogists or historians tracing the movement of early pioneers and forest rangers through the Lander Ranger District.
