2012 Map of Fort Bridger

About this map

Fort Bridger stands as the primary anchor in this corner of Uinta County, surrounded by a complex network of historical irrigation and water management features. The landscape is defined by the braided channels of Blacks Fork and Little Blacks Fork, which support local agricultural efforts through the Center Ditch and the Bridger Butte Canal. Rising above the valley, Bridger Butte provides a prominent landmark overlooking the small settlement of Millburne to the south. This area, long essential for its position on western travel corridors, is documented here with its local infrastructure intact, from the Fort Bridger Cem and Millburne Cem to several local reservoirs like the Wall Development Company Reservoir and Erickson Reservoir. The map illustrates a rural Wyoming economy deeply tied to its water sources and the geographic prominence of the surrounding high plains.
