About this map

The high country of the Shoshone National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, centered on the prominent heights of Warm Spring Mountain. The landscape is a network of drainage systems, with Wind River carving through the northeastern corner and numerous tributaries like Du Noir Creek and Warm Spring Creek cutting through the topography. In the central portion of the map, the site of Du Noir is marked as abandoned, offering a glimpse into the changing settlement patterns of Fremont County as early industrial or ranching outposts were left behind.

Evidence of high-altitude ranching and livestock operations remains through features like Cow Camp, Johnson Camp, and the Rocker A Ranch. High points such as Hat Butte and Sand Butte serve as distinctive landmarks for those navigating the jeep trails and pack trails that crisscross the region. The southern edge is defined by the Union Pass Road and the high point at Geyser, while a Lookout Tower stands watch over the surrounding timber and watersheds.
