About this map

Jelm Mountain dominates this portion of Albany County, anchoring a landscape shaped by high-altitude ranching and rugged drainages. The 2012 survey illustrates the sparse settlement of the era, centered on landmarks like the Cole Ranch and a network of mountain passes, including Sunrise Pass. The hydrology of the area is defined by seasonal and perennial flows such as Dickey Cr and Lindsey Cr, alongside human-engineered features like the Old King Ditch and the twin reservoirs of Ring Lake Number 1 and Ring Lake Number 2.

Transportation through the terrain is facilitated by specialized routes like Jelm Mountain Lookout Rd and Gyp Quarry Rd, reflecting the region's historical ties to fire lookout observation and resource extraction. Named points such as Ring Mountain and Red Mountain provide significant topographical orientation, while small water sources like Barrel Spring and Trapper Spring underscore the vital importance of water rights in this semi-arid Wyoming environment.
