About this map

The settlement of Burris occupies the northeastern corner of this Fremont County landscape, situated where the Burris-Lenore Rd meets the high desert terrain. The area is defined by a sophisticated network of water management, evidenced by the Dinwoody Canal and Dry Cr Canal, which divert water from natural flows like Dinwoody Creek to support the surrounding valley. This infrastructure highlights the vital importance of irrigation in the arid Wyoming climate during the early 21st century.

Prominent landforms include the massive Dinwoody Ridge and Dry Ridge, which frame significant water bodies such as Dinwoody Lake and Upper Dinwoody Lake. Localized features like Hidden Valley and Cottonwood Draw suggest a complex topography of breaks and basins. Further south, the map tracks the winding paths of Bob Cr and Meadow Cr, while Bobs Creek Rd provides access to the more isolated southern sections of the townships.
