About this map

The Bear River valley near the Utah and Idaho borders defines this corner of Lincoln County, where the town of Cokeville serves as a hub for both transportation and irrigation. The Union Pacific railroad tracks and the winding river channel parallel one another through the lowlands, supported by an extensive network of water management features like the Covey Canal, Stoner Nelson Wheelock Ditch, and Bruner Ditch.

Historical movement through the high desert is etched into the landscape via the Emigrant Trail and the Sublette Cutoff, which traverse the area east of Stoffer Ridge. The terrain transitions sharply from the riparian environments of Dixon Slough and Forger Slough to the prominent elevations of Big Hill and Rocky Point. Local infrastructure is well-represented, from the Cokeville Municipal Airport to the Cokeville Cem, alongside evidence of regional industry such as several Gravel Pits and scattered Prospects.
