About this map

Encampment and Riverside occupy a valley where the N Fork Encampment River flows northward toward a complex network of agricultural irrigation channels. This landscape is defined by its water management, featuring a dense system of historic waterways like the Enlarged Cherokee Ditch, Nichols Ditch, and Grand Valley Ditch. The town of Encampment is laid out on a grid including Mac Farlane Ave and Emerson Blvd, while the Encampment Cem sits just north of the main residential center.

The southern half of the map transitions into the high-elevation terrain of the Medicine Bow National Forest. Here, the land is carved by numerous drainages including Hell Cr, Miner Cr, and Purgatory Gulch. The Encampment River Trl follows the river's winding path through these mountain foothills, passing landmarks like the Water Valley Fish and Recreation Pond. This area reflects the intersection of Wyoming's ranching heritage and its protected wilderness.
