About this map

Mountain Home Ranch and its associated Mountain Home Spring sit in the northern reaches of this high-altitude landscape in western Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages and canyons, most notably Deloney Canyon and Fogarty Canyon, which carve through the slopes around Cretaceous Mountain. These natural corridors dictate the path of the region's historical ranch roads and trails, such as Pine Grove Creek Rd and Janis Rd.

Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, with mapped points like DeGraw Spring and Tip Top Spring serving as vital hubs. The drainage systems of N Fork Dry Piney Cr and Pine Grove Cr weave through the draws, illustrating the rugged hydrology of Sublette County. This 2012 survey provides a clear view of the area's land management and natural topography, from the Dry Basin to the landmark at BLM 5323.
