2021 Map of Leefe

About this map

The Bear River meanders across the high borderlands of Lincoln County, Wyoming, and Rich County, Utah, in a landscape defined by an extensive network of 21st-century irrigation and ranching infrastructure. Central to this map is the settlement of Leefe, positioned near where the river transitions between states. The importance of water management in this arid environment is evident through features like the Beckwith and Quinn Canal, Sage Cr Canal, and Riverland Ditch, alongside the Sixmile Reservoir. To the southeast, the Crawford Mountains rise abruptly from the valley floor, while family-held land such as the Willis Bq Ranch anchors the northern reaches. This 2021 survey also documents various springs, including McKinnon Spring and Sucker Spring, which have long served as vital landmarks for local inhabitants and livestock in the high desert.
