1981 Map of Washakie Park

About this map

The high-altitude drainage basins of the Little Wind River and its various forks define this portion of the Wind River Indian Reservation in the mid-1970s. Dominated by prominent peaks such as Mount Shoshone and Mount Baldy, the landscape is etched with a network of traditional routes, including the Pack Trail and the Gaylord Lake Trail. These pathways connect remote alpine water bodies like Shoshone Lake, Yahtic Lake, and Marys Lake, illustrating the logistical importance of pack animal travel in this wilderness during the era. The presence of Tepee Pass and the open meadows of Washakie Park suggests a land used primarily for transit and high-country grazing. From the South Fork Little Wind River to the headwaters of Moss Creek, the map details a complex hydrology where streams like Lost Creek and Roost Creek flow through steep glacial topography.
