About this map

Midvale and the surrounding Missouri Valley characterize this high plains landscape in Fremont County, where irrigation infrastructure is essential to the local geography. The map documents an intricate network of water management features, including the long Ocean Drain and various lateral channels like Lateral P-27.0-C and Lateral P-28.2, which branch off to support the valley's agriculture.

Prominent landforms like Lost Wells Butte and the drainage of Sand Gulch punctuate the terrain, while the course of Fivemile Creek meanders through the northern sections. Settled life is concentrated around the community of Paradise Valley, served by a grid of descriptive local routes such as Last Chance Dr, Bushwhacker Rd, and Sidewinder Rd, reflecting the rural and agricultural character of this Wyoming region in the early 21st century.
