A monument marks the end of the Wind River tie drive, once a major wood trade on the Washakie division. The Wyoming Tie and Timber company and notable figures preserved the legacy of hand hewers who supplied ten million cross ties to the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, with the final drive of 1946 marking the close of an era.
