1964 Map of Pinedale

About this map

The town of Pinedale serves as the focal point for this mid-1960s study of the Upper Green River Valley, situated at the base of the Wind River Range. The landscape is defined by the confluence of mountain-fed waters, including Pine Creek and Pole Creek, which feed into the meandering New Fork River. Agricultural development is evident through a complex irrigation network, with labels such as the Highland Ditch, Lee DITCH, and Fayette Ditch tracing the movement of water across the valley floor. To the south, the terrain rises into The Mesa and Ruby Hill, where more arid features like Desert Res No 3 and Mount Airy Well indicate the shift toward high-desert ranching. Local landmarks of the era include the Rodeo Ground, the Plainview Cem, and Wenz Field (Pinedale Airport), reflecting the civic life of Sublette County.
