1987 Map of Shoshone Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Buffalo Bill Dam anchors the landscape where the Shoshone River exits its canyon, a focal point of water management and engineering in the late 20th century. This 1987 survey details the complex infrastructure surrounding the reservoir, including Tunnels and a Siphon that support the irrigation and power needs of the region. The map captures the rugged transition from the heights of Rattlesnake Mountain down to the shores of the Buffalo Bill Reservoir, showing the early footprint of Buffalo Bill State Park and the specialized Fish Hatchery near Cottonwood Creek.
