About this map

The Wind River carves a dramatic path through the Wind River Canyon before entering the expanse of the Boysen Reservoir. This landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Owl Creek Mountains, where Boysen Peak and Stagner Mtn overlook the transition from narrow canyons to the broad reservoir waters. The small settlement of Boysen sits at this critical hydrological juncture, serving as a focal point near the northern end of the reservoir.

Erosional features such as Teeter Canyon, Jewell Canyon, and Johnson Draw emphasize the complex topography of the Boysen Ridge and Stone Mtn. Small drainage systems like Boysen Cr and Cottonwood Cr feed the reservoir from the east, while the Boysen Peak Rd provides access to the higher terrain west of the canyon. The boundary between Hot Springs and Fremont Counties cuts across the northern portion of the map, separating the peaks and basins of this Wyoming landscape.
