2012 Map of Lewiston Lakes

About this map

The Oregon Trl cuts across this high-plains landscape in Fremont County, marking a corridor of historical transit that defined the American West. Centered near Lewiston Lakes, the terrain is a network of riparian corridors and seasonal water sources essential for cattle ranching and early travel. Named springs like Immigrant Springs, Wagon Tire Spring, and Lower Mormon Spring highlight the critical importance of water for those crossing this arid region. The map shows the intersection of these traditional routes with livestock management sites such as the Yellowstone Cow Camp and Canoys Cabin near McLean Meadows. The presence of the Arnold Ditch Number 1 and Silver Creek Reservoir reflects later efforts to manage the Sweetwater River watershed for agricultural use, while the Fort Stambaugh-Atlantic City Rd further illustrates the established network of mountain-to-basin connectivity.
