1958 Map of Pavillion Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the contrast between its northern uplands and the engineered water systems of the south. High ground at Muddy Ridge and Pavillion Ridge gives way to the lower basin of the Riverton Reclamation Withdrawal Area, a zone heavily modified for agriculture. This 1950s survey captures a complex network of irrigation infrastructure managed by the Bureau of Reclamation, including the substantial Wyoming Canal and the Pavillion Main Lateral. The presence of the Pavillion Airport and several Gravel Pits near the southern boundary suggests an era of mid-century development and utility. Natural drainages like Fivemile Creek and Muddy Creek are joined by man-made features like the Sheep Camp Drain, illustrating how the arid Fremont County terrain was being reconfigured for reclamation and resource management.
