Description: This dataset represents the official boundary of the Wind River Indian Reservation (WRIR) as developed by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office. It is intended to be used by state agencies for any public maps that depict the reservation boundary for any official State purposes and to determine jurisdiction for regulatory agencies. The boundary is defined by separate acts of Congress that restored specific areas of land by legal land descriptions (established by treaty between the United States and the Eastern Shoshone and Bannock Tribes, 15 Stat. 673 (July 3, 1868), and diminished by the Act of December 15, 1874, Ch. 2, 18 Stat. 291, the Act of June 7, 1897, Ch. 3, 30 Stat. 62, and the Act of March 3, 1905, Ch. 1452, 33 Stat. 1016, and as subsequently restored pursuant to Acts of Congress).This dataset represents the summary of all such applicable acts which were then dissolved to create one polygon for visual representation purposes. Baseline information for the data was the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Legacy Geographic Coordinate Data Base (GCDB) which was a collection of geographic information representing the United States Public Land Survey System and other official surveys.
