About this map

The Sublette Range and Gannett Hills anchor this 2011 survey of the Wyoming-Idaho borderlands, where the landscape is defined by high-elevation ridges and narrow drainage basins. The map captures a sophisticated network of water management and topography, including the Taylor Canal and Geneva Ditch that skirt the lower slopes. These features, along with the presence of Salt Basin and Salt Canyon, highlight the distinct geological character of this corner of Lincoln County.

Automobile and forest access is documented through corridors like Boulevard Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 148, which wind through the terrain near Table Mountain. The drainage systems of Giraffe Creek, Dry Creek, and Preuss Creek reveal the natural flow of the watershed before it reaches the more developed valleys. This modern topographic study is a valuable resource for understanding the contemporary geography of the Salt River and Bear River divides.
