1957 Map of Wapiti

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

North Fork Shoshone River and its southern counterpart define the rugged topography of this mid-century Rocky Mountain survey. The landscape is dotted with early-twentieth-century dude ranches and mountain retreats such as Broken H Lodge and the River Rest Resort, reflecting the area's development for outdoor recreation and western tourism. Remote outposts like the Ishawoda Guard Sta and Diamond Bar Cow Camp sit alongside family operations such as the Siggins Brothers Ranch and the Belknap Ranch, highlighting the mix of public land management and private agriculture within the Shoshone National Forest. High-elevation landmarks like Table Mountain and Sheep Mountain overlook a network of irrigation works, including the Valley Ditch and the Lakeview Ditch, which were essential for ranching in the river valleys. The presence of the Hardpan Sch and the Bi Ho Ba Girl Scout Camp points to established community and youth education in this high-country environment.
