The U.S. Government subsequently designated it as part of the Shoshone Indian Reservation. When gold was discovered in the Atlantic City/South Pass area, the United States Government moved the boundary to the modern day Indian Reservation in Lander/Riverton Area.An Englishman named Finey settled here via the Homstead Act of 1860. He raised cattle and sheep and developed hay meadows down in the creek bottom where the current Sweetwater County Recreation area is located. The Wilkes family was the next to own the property which sold and transferred the property to my Father and Mother in 1960. My parents were devoted stewards and caregivers to this land. My wife and I have worked to follow in their footsteps.I've always considered this an oasis in the desert. It has always provided an abundance of good water from the Little Sweetwater Drainage to grow crops on the sandy soil as well as provide potable water that has sustained livestock and healthy living. We are also blessed to be in the middle of a natural gas field that has given us a great energy resource. Electricity has always been provided by the local utility company and we've had the benefit of an auxiliary generator for rare outages.
