1959 Map of Riverton West

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Wind River irrigation and reclamation infrastructure dominates this mid-century portrait of the Wyoming interior. The extensive Riverton Reclamation Withdrawal Area and the Wind River Indian Reservation Boundary frame the landscape, which is crisscrossed by essential water engineering like the Pilot Canal and Riverton No 2 Canal. The settlement of Riverton is shown in detail, including its civic core with City Hall, the Post Office, and Ashgrove Sch. Beyond the residential blocks, the map records the recreational and institutional life of the era, from the Rodeo Ground and Riverton Country Club to the Prison Farm. The presence of the Chicago and North Western railroad and the Riverton Municipal Airport underscores the town's role as a regional transportation hub during a period of managed growth.
