2015 Map of Fontenelle Gap

About this map

Fontenelle Gap serves as a prominent natural passage through the high-elevation terrain of Lincoln County, where the waters of Fontenelle Creek flow eastward. This 2015 survey details a landscape defined by significant drainage networks and varied topography, including the heights of Pine Ridge and the elongated Slate Creek Ridge. The map illustrates a remote part of western Wyoming where infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of Fontenelle Creek Rd following the watercourse through the gap. A series of seasonal and perennial streams, such as Dutch George Creek, Willow Creek, and Jackson Creek, carve through the townships. The inclusion of Rocky Gap in the southwest corner and N Fork Slate Creek indicates the complex watershed systems that define this high-country region.
