About this map

The Shoshone River and its intricate network of irrigation systems define this high-plains landscape in Park County. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Elk Lovell Canal, while various lateral lines like Lateral W 113 and Lateral W 135 crisscross the terrain to support local agriculture. This reliance on water management is further evidenced by names like Canal Rd, which follows the man-made waterways through the plains.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Penrose Cem situated near the intersection of Cord-1 and Cord-2, serving as a central point of historical interest. The natural drainage of the land is shaped by ephemeral and perennial flows including Whistle Cr, Coon Cr, and the deep-cut Roan Wash. Historical transit is represented by the Jim Bridger Trl, tracing a path in the southern section of the quadrangle near Grass Cr.
