About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, where the Middle Popo Agie River flows through the high-elevation terrain of Fossil Hill and Fairfield Hill. The survey highlights the unique geological and hydrological features of the region, specifically The Sinks within Sinks Canyon, a point where the river vanishes into underground passages. The road network is sparse, consisting primarily of Sinks Canyon Rd and the Maxon Basin Cutoff, reflecting the wilderness character of this area south of Lander.

Local landmarks such as Meyer Lookout and Bayer Mtn provide vertical reference points across a complex system of drainages, including Sawmill Cr and Crooked Cr. To the south, the topography descends toward the Little Popo Agie Canyon and the Little Popo Agie River. This survey serves as a precise guide to the natural features and water systems that define this portion of the Wind River Range foothills.
