1953 Map of Mount Arter SE

About this map

The Shoshone National Forest boundary meets the edge of the Wind River Indian Reservation in this mid-century look at a landscape defined by complex water management and high-desert terrain. Agricultural and industrial infrastructure is prominent, featuring an intricate network of irrigation channels like the Standish Ditch, Squaw Ditch, and Sandstone Ditch, as well as a Hydroelectric Plant and associated Settling Pond. Educational history is preserved through the locations of the Baldwin Creek School and Borner Garden School, both noted as abandoned by the early 1950s. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Red Butte and Lander Hill down into several deep gulches, including Grimmetts Gulch and Ferguson Gulch, while the North Popo Agie River carves through the northern portion of the survey.
