1952 Map of Paradise Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation dominates this high-altitude landscape, specifically the area designated as a roadless wilderness. The 1952 field survey reveals a terrain defined by glacial lakes and sharp ridgelines, where Paradise Basin and Paradise Lakes sit beneath the towering Paradise Ridge. The drainage network is complex, with Bull Lake Creek and Paradise Creek carving through the granite heights. This map is particularly valuable for its recording of specific high-mountain landmarks such as Typo Peak, Entigo Peak, and Wittombona Peak. To the south, the Wind River Base Line marks a critical surveying boundary near Wilson Creek and Enos Lake. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the intentional preservation of this remote interior, making it a pristine record of the Windy Ridge environment before late-century environmental shifts.
