1954 Map of Wolf Point

About this map

The Little Popo Agie River carves through the central terrain of this Fremont County landscape, defining a network of deep canyons and draws. This mid-century survey reveals a ranching and agricultural economy dependent on sophisticated water management, evidenced by the Enterprise Ditch and various unnamed lateral ditches feeding the valley floor near Blue Hill. Rural life is anchored by local schoolhouses including Lower Willow Creek Sch, Upper Willow Creek Sch, and Madison Creek Sch. The map also illustrates the transition into the Shoshone National Forest at the western edge, where elevations climb toward Young Mountain and Wolf Point. Settlement patterns are sparse, represented by family operations like the Whitehead Ranch and the Wilkinson Sheep Sheds, while industrial activity is noted by an Oil Well (Aband) near the Red Canyon Rim.
