1958 Map of Thermopolis

About this map

Wind River Indian Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, showing a complex network of settlements including Fort Washakie and Ethete. The central geography is defined by the Wind River flowing into the newly formed Boysen Reservoir, a critical water management feature for the Wind River Basin. To the north, the petroleum industry is prominent, with the Hamilton Dome Oil Field, Grass Creek Oil Field, and Waugh Oil Field indicating the era's energy extraction footprint.
