About this map

Burris stands as a small settlement in the high plains of Fremont County, positioned where the high desert meets the rising foothills of the Wind River Range. The landscape is defined by the critical management of water in an arid environment, evidenced by the Dinwoody Canal and Dry Cr Canal which cut across the northern terrain to support local life. To the west, the prominent Dinwoody Ridge and Dry Ridge frame the descent toward Dinwoody Lake, a significant water body at the map's edge.

Moving south, the topography becomes increasingly complex with carved features like Hidden Valley and Cottonwood Draw. A network of drainage systems including Bob Cr, Meadow Cr, and Little Dry Cr illustrates the natural hydrology that shaped this region's ranching and transit history. The presence of specialized routes like Dry Creek Lodge Rd and Gannett Peak Rd suggests the area's dual role as both a working landscape and a gateway to the high peaks beyond.
