1952 Map of Paradise Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation dominates this mid-century topographic study, which captures the high-altitude hydrology and peaks of the Wind River Range. The landscape is defined by its glacial basins and complex drainage systems, most notably within Paradise Basin and along the course of Bull Lake Creek. This period of mapping reflects the Department of the Interior's post-war focus on the Missouri River Basin development, meticulously documenting the alpine water resources found in Paradise Lakes, Lydle Lake, and Steamboat Lake. Significant elevations like Lookout Mountain and Tybo Peak provide a clear view of the area's geological structure, including the prominent Windy Ridge and Bull Ridge. These features collectively illustrate a wilderness environment at a time when aerial photogrammetry was refining our understanding of the American West.
