2015 Map of Cottonwood Pass

About this map

Snyder Place serves as a lone named settlement point in this high-altitude landscape where Fremont Co, Hot Springs Co, and Natrona Co converge. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, anchored by Lysite Mtn and the strategic traversals at Cottonwood Pass and Davis Pass. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain heavily dependent on dispersed water sources, such as Brasket Spring, Stove Spring, and Shelly Seeps, which are vital in this arid environment. The road network is sparse, featuring the primary Nowood Rd and the Bighorn Trl, suggesting a region primarily utilized for ranching or seasonal transit. The drainage patterns of Nowood River and Snyder Cr illustrate how the physical geography dictates the movement of both water and people through the draws and passes of the Wyoming interior.
