About this map

The Shoshone National Forest and the boundary of the Wind River Indian Reservation meet in this landscape defined by deep canyons and the complex hydrology of the Popo Agie drainage. In the early 1990s, the terrain south of the Lander Ranger District line shows a transition from high ridges like Timber Top and Table Mountain down into the rugged cuts of Sheep Canyon and Sawmill Canyon. A distinctive historical marker is the Bonier-Garden School (Aband), situated east of where Squaw Creek joins the Popo Agie River.

Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Aqueduct, various sections of Ditch, and a Hydroelectric Plant located near the Sinks in Sinks Canyon State Park. The map also captures several family-named landmarks such as Grimmetts Gulch, Ferguson Gulch, and Mexican Joe Hill, providing specific geographic points for local historians and genealogists tracking the heritage of Fremont County.
