2023 Map of Lander

About this map

Lander serves as the focal point of this Fremont County landscape, situated where the Middle Popo Agie River and North Popo Agie River meet. The town's civic infrastructure is well-defined, anchored by the Fremont County Courthouse and the Central Wyoming College Lander Campus. An extensive network of irrigation ditches, such as the Sioux Ditch, Grant-Young Ditch, and Taylor Ditch, illustrates a sophisticated water management system designed to support agriculture in the high desert environment. To the south and east, the terrain becomes more varied as it rises toward Table Mtn and the Blue Ridge, with dramatic geological features like Batrum Gap and Deadman Gulch marking the drainages. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the presence of Mount Hope Cem and the Wyoming State Training School Cem, along with numerous named gulches and draws that define the local topography.
