2012 Map of Lander NW

About this map

The N Popo Agie River and Popo Agie River converge in the southern reaches of this landscape, defining the hydrology of a region where water management is central to the terrain. A complex network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including Hansen Drain, Coolidge Ditch, and Sioux Ditch, reveals the systematic modification of the land for agricultural or pastoral use. To the west, the Sand Hills provide a distinct topographic contrast to the river valley. The map documents a rural road network characterized by family or descriptive names such as Plunkett Rd, Trosper Ln, and Russian Olive Ln, indicating the localized nature of settlement and land ownership in this part of Fremont County during the early 21st century.
