About this map

The small settlement of Burris sits along the Wind River drainage in this contemporary survey of Fremont County. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its complex irrigation network, necessary for sustaining life and agriculture in the arid basin. Water management is visibly central to the area's geography, with the Dinwoody Canal, Dry Cr Canal, and Wind River Canal cutting through the terrain to distribute flow from Dinwoody Creek.

Steep elevation changes mark the western portion of the map, where the waters of Dinwoody Lake and Upper Dinwoody Lake are held by the rising slopes of Dinwoody Ridge. Local routes such as Dinwoody Rd and Bobs Creek Rd provide access to the foothills and canyons, including the secluded Hidden Valley and the prominent Dry Ridge. This map captures the intersection of natural water systems and human-engineered infrastructure at the edge of the mountains.
