About this map

Elkhorn Springs sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Fremont County, where the topography is defined by the dramatic escarpment of Beaver Rim. This 2015 survey illustrates a rugged drainage system typical of the Wyoming interior, where seasonal watercourses like W Fork Long Cr and Long Cr carve deep paths through the terrain. The transition from the lower basins into the Granite Mountains to the southeast creates a complex series of draws and ridges, including the prominent Long Creek Mtn.

Evidence of the region's unique geology is found in the scattered water features such as Findlay Lake and the various rims and draws that dictate movement across the land. Cedar Rim Draw and Koehler Draw provide specific geographic markers for those tracing historical routes or land use patterns in this part of the state, where the open range is strictly partitioned by the Public Land Survey System sections.
