2021 Map of Lander

About this map

Lander serves as a central hub where the forks of the Popo Agie River converge, creating a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation ditches and mountain-shadowed valleys. The town's civic importance is anchored by the Fremont County Courthouse and the Central Wyoming College Lander Campus, while its agricultural roots are evident in the complex water management system featuring the Nicol Table Mountain Ditch, Sioux Ditch, and Taylor Ditch. To the east and south, the terrain rises sharply toward Blue Ridge and Table Mtn, illustrating the transition from the river basins to the high plains. Local history is preserved at the Mount Hope Cem and the Wyoming State Training School Cem, while aviation history is represented by Hunt Field. The map meticulously details the surrounding settlements like Lyons Valley, illustrating how early 21st-century Wyoming communities integrated water rights and rugged topography.
