1970 Map of Daniel Junction

About this map

The Green River flows through this Sublette County landscape, defining a region where intricate irrigation networks support high-altitude ranching and agriculture. The map document is dominated by an extensive system of named ditches, including Forty Rod Ditch, Dickinson Ditch, and Ashley Ditch, which channel water from the river to various storage points like Forty Rod Reservoir and Sunset Reservoir. The small settlement of Bronx and the landmark Old Warren Bridge sit in the northwest, serving as historically significant crossing points in a terrain marked by the looming Cora Butte. This 1970 field check captures the area's transition between riparian corridors and the arid flats of the upper Green River Basin, revealing a coordinated effort to manage water through features like the Thompson and Kirby Ditch and the Hedin and Slate Ditch.
