2021 Map of Lonetree

About this map

The settlement of Lonetree serves as the focal point for this high-elevation ranching and irrigation landscape in southwestern Wyoming. The area is defined by a sophisticated network of early water management features, including the Grimsley Ditch, Luckey Ditch, and Stag Hollow Ditch, which divert water from the Henrys Fork to support local agricultural operations. These man-made watercourses contrast with natural features like the winding Poison Cr and Lonetree Cr, illustrating the intensive modification of the high desert to sustain livestock and crops. High points such as Hickey Mtn and the Bald Range provide a dramatic backdrop to the drainage basins below, where the Hickey Mountain Reservoir manages seasonal runoff. This survey captures a region where survival is tied directly to the control of water, reflected in the density of named canals and ditches across the basin floor.
