2012 Map of Anderson Ridge

About this map

Anderson Ridge anchors this high-country landscape in Fremont County, where the headwaters of the Sweetwater River and its various forks, such as the E Sweetwater River, wind through open range and meadows. The presence of the Lander Cutoff Rd provides a direct connection to the historic emigrant trail system, cutting across the southern portion of the sheet near Fog Gulch. This area reflects a long-standing ranching and homesteading heritage, evidenced by the Anderson Homestead and Jack Ranch. Notable water management and transit features including the Rinne Ditch and the Pine Creek Trl indicate how this terrain has been utilized for irrigation and movement. From the quiet expanse of Burnt Meadow to the isolated Shelter House, the map documents a territory defined by high-altitude drainages and historical passage.
