2017 Map of Brenton Springs

About this map

The high desert divide of Sweetwater and Fremont counties is defined by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail: Wyoming Portion, which winds through a landscape sculpted by seasonal watercourses and human engineering. This 2017 survey shows a network of vital water management features in an arid environment, including Hadsell Reservoir, Cold Spring Reservoir, and Baby Antelope Reservoir. The presence of the Arapahoe Ditch and various branches of Arapahoe Creek, such as W Arapahoe Cr and E Arapahoe Cr, highlights the importance of water rights and irrigation in this part of Wyoming. Transportation is represented by the historically significant Riverview Cutoff and remote access points like Crooks Gap Rd, while the eponymous Brenton Springs marks a rare natural water source in the hills.
