About this map

Star Valley dominates the western half of this Lincoln County survey, where the Salt River and its tributaries like Crow Cr and Spring Cr create a fertile corridor for Wyoming ranching and agriculture. The primary settlement of Afton is clearly defined by its residential grid, including streets like W 2nd Ave and E 5th Ave, and is supported by the nearby Afton Municipal Airport. Smaller rural communities including Fairview and Osmond anchor the agricultural flats to the south and west.

To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Bridger National Forest and the rugged peaks of the Gannett Hills. This mountainous landscape is carved by dramatic canyons such as Scout Canyon, Hale Canyon, and Elbow Canyon. Researchers will find local history markers such as the Fairview Cem and Graveyard Canyon Cem, while natural features like Swift Cr Lake and Wickiup Knoll illustrate the transition from the valley floor to the high timberline.
