2012 Map of Gilbert Lake

About this map

The ranching landscape of northern Converse County is defined by the winding course of Sage Cr, which meanders across this high plains terrain. In 2012, the area remained characterized by large-scale landholdings and widely spaced infrastructure, centered on sites like Smith Ranch. The network of roads, including the prominent Ross Rd, follows the natural contours of the drainage basin, illustrating how water sources and topography continue to dictate the layout of transportation and settlement in this part of Wyoming. This survey provides a precise look at the contemporary boundaries and hydrology of the region as it existed in the early twenty-first century.
