About this map

Hams Fork meanders through this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, anchoring a network of historic irrigation infrastructure. The map documents an intricate system of water rights and engineering, including the Chrisman Ditch Number 1, the Winslow Hallock and Capen Ditch, and the evocatively named Old Mexican Ditch. These waterways support the arid land between the elevated Opal Bench and Chrisman Bench.

The terrain is further defined by seasonal drainage patterns like Sevenmile Wash and Cow Hollow Cr, which cut through the township grids of T22N and T21N. While the area remains largely open range, the presence of Co RD 340 and Co RD 323 provides the primary access through this corner of Wyoming. This map serves as a detailed record of how water management and topographical features have dictated the usage of the Lincoln County high country.
