About this map

The Wind River flows south through the heart of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, anchoring a landscape defined by forestry research and conservation in the early 1980s. The settlement of Stabler sits near the junction of several mountain drainages, serving as a gateway to the Wind River Ranger Station and the specialized grounds of the Wind River Arboretum and Wind River Nursery. This area is notable for its concentration of ecological study sites, specifically the Wind River Experimental Forest (Trout Creek Division), which blankets the western slopes above Trout Creek.

Topographical landmarks like Bunker Hill and Trout Creek Hill dominate the relief between the winding river and its many tributaries, such as Whisky Creek and Martha Creek. Federal investment in the region is evident through the presence of the Carson National Fish Hatchery near Little Soda Springs and public recreation spots like Beaver Campground. For the local historian, the map preserves the exact layout of these specialized forest service facilities and remote camps like Warren Gap Campground before modern changes.
