1962 Map of Windy Point

About this map

Sillem Ridge and the prominent overlook at Windy Point define the high country of Lincoln County in the early 1960s. This survey of the Bridger Basin reveals a landscape managed for water and livestock transit, characterized by numerous small catchments like White Rock Pit Reservoir, Lag Reservoir, and the uniquely named Question Mark Reservoir. These features, coupled with the frequent presence of Spring and Springs across the slopes, suggest a high-desert environment where every water source was critical for range management.
