1907 Map of Younts Peak

About this map

Younts Peak stands as the dramatic focus of this high-country survey, marking the headwaters of the Yellowstone River and the Wind River systems. Mapping by surveyors like Frank Tweedy and R.B. Robertson reveals a landscape defined by the Continental Divide, where glacier-carved features like the Du Noir Glacier and Natural Bridge punctuate the high plateaus. The human footprint in this era consists primarily of isolated outposts such as Dundee Camp and a network of homesteads along the river valleys, including Kisingers Ranch and Stagner's Ranch. Near the settlement of Dubois, early industrial efforts are visible at the Sawmill and the Clarks Placer Mines, while landmarks like Welty's Hall suggest the burgeoning social fabric of the Wind River valley during the early twentieth century.
