2021 Map of Brenton Springs

About this map

Brenton Springs marks a remote watering point in this high-altitude landscape of central Wyoming, situated just north of the border between Fremont and Sweetwater counties. The terrain is defined by its complex drainage network, where seasonal waterways like W Arapahoe Cr and E Arapahoe Cr descend from the upland slopes. Human intervention in this arid environment is visible through the Arapahoe Ditch and several livestock water sources, including Hadsell Reservoir and Cold Spring Reservoir. Modern recreation and transportation intersect here, as the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl winds through the northern sections while the Riverview Cutoff provides passage across the lower basins. The southern edge of the quadrangle descends toward the Baby Antelope Reservoir, illustrating the vital importance of water management in this high-desert ranching country.
