1951 Map of Pavillion SE

About this map

The Riverton Reclamation Project dominates this mid-century landscape in Fremont County, where a complex network of man-made waterways like the Pilot Canal and Lost Wells Lateral transformed the arid terrain of the Riverview Valley. This hydraulic engineering defines the area north of the Wind River, which meanders through the Wind River Indian Reservation. The map reveals the early twentieth-century agricultural transition of the region, featuring infrastructure such as the Le Clair Canal and the Wind River Base Line surveying boundary. Local history is anchored by the Riverview School (Aban'd) and various survey markers like VABM 5389 Ocean, while a solitary Gravel Pit and the prominent Big Ridge provide landmarks within the extensive Withdrawal Area.
