About this map

Crowheart serves as the central settlement in this high-altitude landscape where the Wind River and its complex network of irrigation infrastructure define the local geography. The map reveals an intricate system of water management essential for high-desert life, including the Wind River Canal, Dry Creek Canal, and Meadow Creek Canal. These man-made features cut across the terrain alongside natural drainages like Cottonwood Draw and Kane Draw.

Evidence of local history and logistics is found in sites such as Government Ditch Camp and the small community at Willow Creek. Transport routes follow the path of the Old Yellowstone Hwy and several family-named roads like Alexander Rd and Urbigkie Rd, reflecting the ranching and agricultural heritage of Fremont County. The map provides a detailed view of how settlements and water rights are organized along the valley floor before the land rises into the surrounding draws and creeks.
