1958 Map of Pavillion Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the intersection of natural river systems and mid-century federal water management projects. At the heart of this 1958 survey, the Wind River and Fivemile Creek are harnessed by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Wyoming Canal, Pavillion Main Lateral, and various siphons and gaging stations. These developments fall within the Riverton Reclamation Withdrawal Area, illustrating the Bureau of Reclamation's efforts to transform this arid Wyoming terrain into productive agricultural land. Distinctive geological markers like Muddy Ridge, Pavillion Ridge, and the namesake Pavillion Butte provide topographic contrast to the leveled fields. Near the southern edge, the Pavillion Airport and several Gravel Pits indicate the local infrastructure and industry supporting the community during the post-war development of the Missouri River Basin.
