About this map

The North Popo Agie River and the Popo Agie River converge in the southwest corner of this Fremont County landscape, defining a riparian corridor that contrasts with the arid topography to the north. This 2017 survey documents a complex system of water management and irrigation essential to the region, including the Coolidge Ditch, Sioux Ditch, and Hansen Drain. These man-made features work alongside natural drainage patterns like Mill Cr and the Sharp Nose Draw to support the local agricultural economy.

Elevations rise toward the Sand Hills in the west, while the northern territory is marked by a grid of rural routes such as Ethete Rd and 17 Mile Rd. The map provides a detailed record of land divisions across several townships, including t1s r1e, as they intersect with the winding course of the Little Wind River in the northeast. This interplay between natural river forks and engineered ditches illustrates the long-standing efforts to reclaim and utilize this Wyoming terrain.
