2018 Map of Linwood Canyon

About this map

Henrys Fork winds through the high desert landscape of Sweetwater County, marking a vital water source in this arid region of southwestern Wyoming. The southern portion of this 2018 survey reveals the edge of the Ashley National Forest and the northern reaches of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir, a major geographic feature on the Green River system. The complex network of irrigation, essential to the local agricultural history, is documented through features like the Peoples Canal and the Sheep Cr Irrigation Canal, which divert water from the Cottonwood Cr drainage. Steep-walled drainages like Linwood Canyon and seasonal watercourses such as Franklin Wash and Anvil Wash define the topography, illustrating the erosional patterns of the high plateau and the infrastructure required to manage water in the Wyoming basin.
