About this map

Daniel Junction serves as a focal point for this Sublette County landscape, where the confluence of irrigation history and ranching roads meets the sweep of the Wyoming high country. The complex water management of the region is evident in the dense network of man-made waterways like Van Ditch, Apex Ditch, and Extension Dickinson Ditch, which redirect water from sources like the Green River and Forty Rod Creek to sustain the surrounding basin. These ditches represent a significant engineering effort to reclaim the arid plains for agricultural use.

To the north, the settlement of Bronx and the nearby Old Warren Bridge mark historical transit points along the river. The topography is defined by distinctive landmarks such as Cora Butte and the wide expanse of Forty Rod Flat. The prevalence of private water storage, including Sunset Reservoir and Lauzer Fish Pond Reservoir, alongside various snowmobile and pack trails, illustrates a landscape balanced between active ranching operations and modern recreational access.
