2012 Map of Hunter Mesa

About this map

Hunter Mesa and the surrounding high-country plateaus define this corner of Johnson County, where a network of forest roads connects seasonal camps and livestock outposts. The landscape is deeply incised by the drainage of French Cr, N Clear Cr, and Sourdough Cr, creating a series of named parks and meadows that have long served as landmarks for ranchers and travelers. Distinctive local sites like Paradise Ranch and Hunter Corral reflect the area’s enduring ties to mountain ranching, while French Creek Cow Camp and Cross H Cow Camp suggest a geography shaped by the movement of cattle. Recreation and education are woven into the terrain at Schoolhouse Park and the County Youth Camp. This survey documents a quiet interior of Wyoming where water sources such as Hospital Hill Springs and Fox Cabin Spring remain vital points of interest.
