About this map

The Oregon Trail Sublette Cutoff traverses this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, marking a historic corridor for westward migration. Nearby, the isolated Nancy Hill Grave stands as a poignant reminder of the personal toll taken on the trail. The geography is defined by the Colorado River Divide Great Basin, where water drainage patterns shift across the arid terrain.

Modern water management is evident through the presence of Lake Viva Naughton and the Kemmerer Reservoir, both fed by the Hams Fork. These reservoirs contrast with natural features like Schuster Basin and the winding Fish Cr. The map also captures local transit routes such as Dempsey Rd and Farm Field Rd, which connect the scattered water sources and topographical landmarks of this western Wyoming quadrangle.
