1952 Map of St. Lawrence Basin

About this map

St Lawrence Basin and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Wind River Range dominate this mid-century survey. Located within the Wind River Indian Reservation, the landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the North Fork Little Wind River and South Fork Sage Creek originate. The presence of the St Lawrence Ranger Station and a long Telephone Line snaking through the basin highlights the era's forest management and communication infrastructure. Higher elevations are marked by prominent summits such as Bear Peak and Little Horse Peak, providing significant landmarks for early explorers and surveyors. The small settlement area known as The Meadows sits near the headwaters of the Wind River, offering a rare point of reference in this high mountain environment. The topographic detail illustrates the transition from the St Lawrence Ridge down into the river basins below.
