About this map

Boysen Reservoir dominates this landscape in central Wyoming, where the water fills the Wind River canyon landscape. The map details a sophisticated network of water management features, including the Sand Mesa Number 1 Reservoir and Sand Mesa Number 2 Reservoir situated atop the Sand Mesa formation. These reservoirs, alongside Lake Cameahwait, illustrate the critical importance of irrigation and water storage in this arid region of Fremont County.

Transportation corridors are defined by the path of Old Highway 20 and state route 789, which navigate the varied terrain between the Sand Hills and the steep elevation of Birdseye Pass. The presence of the Shoshoni Airport in the southeast corner provides a modern navigational landmark, while natural drainages like Muddy Cr and Tough Cr continue to shape the local topography. This 2015 survey provides a precise look at the land use patterns where high-desert mesas meet engineered shorelines.
