About this map

Ashton serves as the central hub of this agricultural and canyon landscape, where the street grid includes family-named routes such as Idaho St and Main St. The town sits at a geographic crossroads, marked by the prominent Yellowstone / Grand Teton Rail Trail which traces the former path of the railroad through the region toward the nearby Targee National Forest. To the south, the settlement of Marysville is closely tied to an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Marysville Canal and the N Lateral Marysville Canal, which divert water to sustain the surrounding plains.

The topography is defined by the sharp descent into canyon systems like Box Canyon and Jump Off Canyon where the Henrys Fork and Fall River carve through the terrain. These waterways, along with the Farmers Own Canal, illustrate the long-standing importance of water management in Fremont County. The transition from the structured farm blocks of t9n r42e to the more varied terrain of Coleman Canyon and Hale Canyon highlights the area's diverse geography at the edge of the forest highlands.
