About this map

The Popo Agie River carves through the northwestern corner of this Fremont County landscape, supporting early agricultural development through the Wise Ditch and Millard Ditch systems. The terrain transitions from the river valley to the prominent heights of Blue Ridge and Monument Butte, revealing a history of industrial activity along the high ground. Evidence of the region's extraction economy is visible through the Williams Mine, an unnamed Coal Mine, and a Gravel Pit. An Old Railroad Grade indicates a former transportation corridor that once served these upland mining operations. Significant landmarks such as Hall Ranch and several named drainages, including Government Draw and Ballenger Draw, provide essential orientation points for those tracing the development of land use and water rights in this part of Wyoming.
