About this map

Daniel serves as the focal point for this 1970 snapshot of Sublette County, where the high desert meets a complex network of irrigation infrastructure. The landscape is defined by the winding Green River and its numerous man-made diversions, including the Green River Supply Canal, Hedin and Slate Ditch, and Lawrence Ditch. These waterways support local ranching efforts, evidenced by scattered reservoirs such as Ryegrass Reservoir and Four Ditch Reservoir.

To the east of the settlement, Mt Olivet Cem and a Historical Marker signify the area's established roots. The terrain transitions from the river bottomlands to prominent features like Grindstone Butte and the broad Soap Hole Basin to the south. Notable local landmarks include the Soaphole Bridge and several family-named water projects like Travelute Res and the Essex Ditch, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by water management and high-country agriculture.
