About this map

The Boysen Reservoir dominates this landscape, created by the Bureau of Reclamation as part of the Missouri River Basin development. Much of the surrounding terrain is defined by its jurisdictional status, notably the eastern reaches of the Wind River Indian Reservation and the extensive Riverton Reclamation Withdrawal Area. These administrative designations reflect the mid-century focus on water management and irrigation in central Wyoming, illustrated by the presence of the Wyoming Canal and the designated State Wildlife Management Area surrounding Lake Cameahwait.
