About this map

The Sweetwater River winds through this high-altitude landscape of Fremont County, carving a path between the Beaver Rim and the Antelope Hills. This region is defined by its critical water sources, essential for ranching and travelers in the high desert, evidenced by numerous named seeps such as Wagon Tire Spring, Immigrant Springs, and Ladysmith Spring. The presence of the Arnold Ditch Number 1 and Silver Cr Reservoir highlights the historical importance of water management and irrigation in this arid environment.

Outdoor heritage and historical transit are central to this area, marked by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The map documents high-country grazing lands like McLean Meadows and the namesake Lewiston Lakes. Remote backcountry access is facilitated by the Hudson-Atlantic City Rd and Strawberry Creek Rd, which provide context for the isolated settlements and seasonal camps that have long occupied this section of the Wyoming frontier.
