1952 Map of Sheep Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this 1952 topographic study, where the high-altitude terrain of the Owl Creek Mountains meets the prominent Sheep Ridge. The survey illustrates a transition between the rugged mountain slopes and the lower drainages, anchored by the Cottonwood Ranger Station in the north and the Harris Ranch near the center. The map's detail provides a look at the essential water sources that defined land use in this part of Wyoming, including the North Fork Owl Creek and the numerous forks of West Fork Sheep Creek. These drainages, along with landmarks like Mud Flat, highlight the sparse but strategic human presence within the reservation and along the Hot Springs and Fremont County border.
