About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation and Shoshone National Forest meet in this landscape of high gulches and complex hydrology. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, visible through the Hydroelectric Plant and a network of flumes and ditches, including a Flume near Horpecker Creek. The map records the remnants of rural education at the Bonner Garden School (Aban'd) near the North Fork Popo Agie River.

Geological and industrial markers are scattered throughout, from the Shale Pit on Lander Hill to the distinct formation of Red Butte. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the dramatic topography of Sinks Canyon State Park, where the Middle Fork Popo Agie River disappears into the Sinks. Numerous family-named landforms like Grimmetts Gulch and Ferguson Gulch provide specific points of interest for local genealogists and historians tracing early land use in the Lander Ranger District.
