About this map

The town of Pinedale serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a community defined by its water management and high-altitude geography. The settlement's infrastructure is prominently marked, from the local High Sch and Rodeo Ground to the specialized Wenz Field and nearby Sewage Disposal Pond. A sophisticated network of irrigation is visible throughout the valley, where the Chance Ditch, Lee Ditch, and several other unnamed channels redirect water across the landscape.

Hydrology dominates the terrain as Pine Creek and Pole Creek converge toward the larger New Fork River in the south. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the significant rise of the Mesa and the peak of Mount Airy, creating a sharp contrast between the irrigated valley floor and the elevated plateaus. Transportation routes U.S. 187 and U.S. 189 provide the primary links through this part of Sublette County.
