1991 Map of Twin Creek

About this map

The South Fork Shoshone River carves through this Park County landscape, defining the transition between the protected Washakie Wilderness and the industrial activity of the South Shoshone Oil Field. This survey captures the working character of the region in the early 1990s, where agricultural operations like the TE Ranch and TE Cow Camp rely on irrigation infrastructure such as the Lakeview Ditch. The rugged topography is anchored by the massive Carter Mountain to the southeast, while numerous watercourses like Houlihan Creek, Ishawooa Creek, and Jordan Creek drain the surrounding Shoshone National Forest. This map offers a clear view of the balance between resource extraction, ranching heritage, and wilderness preservation, providing a detailed record of land use and property boundaries along the river's winding path.
