About this map

Ethete serves as the focal point of this Fremont County landscape, situated where the Little Wind River and its tributaries like Trout Cr and Sage Cr carve through the terrain. The community is notable for its concentration of family and community burial sites, including the Saint Michael Cem, Friday Cem, and Wallowing Bull Cem, reflecting the deep ancestral roots of the local population.

Thermal activity is a defining characteristic of the southwestern region, evidenced by Washakie Mineral Hot Springs, Tar Spring, and the uniquely named Tardy Geyser. Water management is essential to the local geography, shown through the path of the Coolidge Canal and the Coolidge Turnout. Rising above the river valley, the prominent Bighorn Ridge and Bighorn Draw provide significant topographical contrast to the settled corridors along Ethete Rd and Yellow Calf Rd.
