2021 Map of Fontenelle Gap

About this map

The historical Emigrant Trl cuts through the southwestern corner of this high-country landscape, marking a legacy of westward migration through Lincoln County. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological formations like the Fontenelle Gap and the high spine of Slate Creek Ridge, which separates the northern and southern watersheds. A network of drainages including Fontenelle Cr, Willow Cr, and Sheep Cr carve through the land, illustrating the drainage patterns of the upper Green River basin. In the northeast, Pine Ridge stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the valley, while local transportation is facilitated by routes such as Fontenelle Creek Rd and Co RD 314. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid across several townships, showing how ranching and migration routes shaped the remote Wyoming interior.
