IRRIGATION OF INDIAN LANDS 



Reconnaissance of Proposed Ceded Strip of 

 Shoshone Indian Reservation in Wyoming 



BY 



GOYNE DRUMMOND 



HT HE proposed ceded strip of the 

 Shoshone Indian Reservation, in 

 Wyoming, comprises an area of ap- 

 proximately 2,283 square miles, ex- 

 tending eastward from the North Fork 

 of Wind River, which marks the west- 

 ern boundary, to Big Horn River on 

 the east, and northward from Big 

 Wind River to Owl Creek. The irri- 

 gable area embraced within these bor- 



ders is approximately 230,000 acres, 

 and lies east of Crow Creek and be- 

 tween Big Wind River and Owl Creek 

 Mountains. 



The greater portion of this land is 

 rolling, but can be easily watered. The 

 soil is a sandy loam, warm and fertile, 

 covered with sage brush. Wheat, oats, 

 rye, barley, alfalfa, potatoes and gar- 

 den vegetables are grown very sue-
