About this map

S Fork Shoshone River dictates the geography of this Wyoming landscape, carving a wide valley floor where ranching operations such as LL Bar Ranch and the Stiggins Brothers Ranch are established. The map documents a classic Western land-use pattern, with established agricultural hubs like the TE Ranch positioned near crucial water sources like Bobcat Cr and Houlihan Cr.

Industrial activity is centered at the South Shoshone Oil Field, illustrating the region's extraction history alongside its ranching roots. High-elevation drainage networks, including E Fork Jordan Cr and W Fork Twin Cr, feed into the main river system, while isolated outposts like the TE Cow Camp near Mower Cr point to the seasonal movement of livestock through the drainage basins. Transportation is defined by rural routes like Co RD 6jm and Road 6eh, which link these remote homesteads and ranching complexes across the high plains.
