2017 Map of Love Ranch

About this map

Love Ranch and the intricate drainage systems of the central Wyoming basin define this high-desert landscape in Fremont County. The terrain is characterized by numerous ephemeral washes and natural depressions, including the notable Buffalo Wallows and several named draws such as Fish Draw, Corral Draw, and Mahoney Draw. These watercourses converge toward Muskrat Creek, which meanders through the central part of the quadrangle. Human activity in this arid region is marked by small-scale water management features like Fraser Reservoir and Mahoney Reservoir, essential for the ranching operations that have long occupied this territory. The presence of Castle Gardens and the proximity to Gas Hills Rd highlight the intersection of local geography and the resource-heavy infrastructure of the Wyoming interior.
