About this map

Bridger National Forest dominates the northeastern landscape of this Sublette County quadrangle, where the High Desert meets the foothills of the Wind River Range. The irrigation infrastructure defining the area's ranching heritage is clearly mapped, from the Boulder Canal to an extensive network of gravity-fed waterways including Fayette Ditch, Burkhalter Ditch, and Howard Roath Ditch. These systems draw from significant water bodies like Burnt Lake and Boulder Lake, which serves as a central hub for both recreation and water management.

Evidence of local industry and community life appears at the southern edge of the survey. The Boulder Cem sits near the confluence of Boulder Creek and the New Fork River, providing a focal point for genealogical research. Industrial activity is noted at the Elk Meadow Pit and Indian Trail Pit, while the presence of Boulder Lake Reservoir Number 7 and Boulder Lake Reservoir Number 4 highlights the regulated nature of the regional watershed.
