About this map

The Little Popo Agie River meanders through the northwest corner of this Fremont County landscape, supporting a network of historic irrigation systems including Lyons Ditch, Wise Ditch, and Millard Ditch. These watercourses emphasize the region's agricultural reliance on redirected river flows within an otherwise arid, high-desert environment. The terrain is defined by a series of named drainages that highlight the area's geological and industrial history, such as Coal Mine Draw and Coal Mine Gulch, which point to early mineral extraction efforts. High points like Monument Butte and the elevation of Blue Ridge provide significant landmarks overlooking the complex network of draws, including Hudson Draw and Ballenger Draw. The map details the local infrastructure through roads like Lyons Valley Rd and Coalmine Rd, tracing the paths carved by ranching and resource development in central Wyoming.
