About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the headwaters of the Wood River and Owl Creek systems converge. The map documents a complex drainage network including Slaughterhouse Creek, Buckle Creek, and the Middle Fork Wood River, providing a detailed study of the area's hydrology before the turn of the decade. A network of Pack Trails provides the primary means of navigation through the steep terrain, connecting isolated locations like Guard Station Park and the high ridges near Standard Peak.

The southern boundary of the map is defined by the Wind River Indian Res Bdy, marking the intersection of Park, Hot Springs, and Fremont counties. Notable topographic landmarks such as the namesake Twin Peaks and Dome Mountain are meticulously charted. These features, along with several high-mountain basins like Surveyor Park and Mc Gregor Park, illustrate a wilderness environment managed for forestry and conservation during the late 1960s.
