About this map

Crooks Mtn dominates this high-elevation landscape in Fremont County, where the topography transitions from the drainage basins of Nancy Cr and O'Brian Cr in the north toward the continental crest. The southern portion of the map is defined by the high ridgeline of the Divide, marked by the route of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl. This area serves as a significant hydrological headwaters region, with numerous drainages such as W Arapahoe Cr and E Arapahoe Cr flowing away from the mountain's southern face.

Industrial and transit history is evidenced by the path of Happy Springs Rd, which winds through the western terrain near Haupress Cr. The map illustrates a sparse, working landscape where water is a critical resource, highlighted by the location of Boggy Springs Pond and Woods Gulch Pond. These features, along with the various named gulches and creeks, reveal the essential landmarks for navigation and land management in this portion of the Wyoming high country.
