1952 Map of St. Lawrence Basin

About this map

Wind River Indian Reservation lands dominate this high-elevation terrain, where the Missouri River Basin project documented a landscape defined by deep drainages and prominent peaks. The St Lawrence Ranger Station serves as a lone outpost of federal management, situated at the junction of the St Lawrence Ranger Station Road and the St Lawrence Roadless Area. The topography is marked by the massive Sage Creek Basin to the north and the St Lawrence Basin to the south, separated by the high St Lawrence Ridge. Peaks such as Bear Peak and Little Horse Peak overlook a network of seasonal water sources like Wild Horse Spring and the headwaters of the Little Wind River. This 1952 survey provides a clear view of the complex boundary lines and land management divisions within this part of Fremont County.
