1956 Map of Warm Spring Mountain

About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, characterized by high-elevation summits and a network of creeks and irrigation ditches. The topography is anchored by Warm Spring Mountain and Geyser Park, while human industry is evidenced by the Smith Sawmill and several ranching outposts like Rocker A Ranch and Sheer Ranch. The map captures a moment of transition for local settlements, noting Du Noir (Aban'd) as a vanished location with remaining ruins. Significant water features including the North Fork Wind River and Lake of the Woods define the drainage patterns, while an Abandoned Ditch and a Lookout Tower reflect the evolving management of these western timberlands and watersheds during the 1950s.
