2017 Map of Anderson Canyon

About this map

The California-Oregon Trl cuts across the northern reaches of this high-elevation Wyoming landscape, tracing a historic path of westward expansion through the divide between Lincoln and Sweetwater counties. This modern topographic survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a rugged terrain defined by significant drainages like Anderson Canyon and Delaney Canyon. The boundary between the two counties is clearly delineated by the north-south axis of Co Line Rd, while smaller landmarks such as Little Monument and the West Fork Buckhorn Canyon break up the high plateau. The network of rural routes, including Colorado Rd and Steed Rd, provides access to these remote township sections, illustrating the persistent utility of the land for cattle ranching and resource management in the 21st century.
