About this map

Dead Shot Ranch sits near the heart of this Wyoming landscape, where the Teton National Forest meets the Bridger National Forest. The 1960s terrain is defined by the steep descent of the Hoback River through Hoback Canyon and Upper Hoback Canyon. This area of Sublette County showcases a network of primitive access points, including a remote landing strip and numerous jeep trails and pack trails used for livestock and forest management.

High-altitude landmarks such as Noble Basin and Strawberry Ridge dominate the eastern half of the map, while drainage systems like Kilgore Creek, Chall Creek, and Beaver Creek carve through the timbered slopes. The presence of Horse Pasture Draw and several labeled fence lines reflects the seasonal grazing economy of the high country, providing a clear view of how these national forest lands were utilized before later developments in the region.
