About this map

Lysite and Lost Cabin serve as the primary hubs in this high-desert landscape, where human settlement is defined by the management of scarce water resources. The terrain is marked by essential infrastructure such as the Burlington Ditch and numerous small-scale water projects, including Waterworks Number 3 Reservoir and Percy Reservoir. The convergence of Bridger Cr and Badwater Cr dictates the local geography, with roads like Badwater Rd and Lysite Creek Rd following these natural corridors through the sagebrush flats.

Evidence of the area's rural self-sufficiency is found in landmarks like the Bridger Creek Airport and the Lost Cabin Airport, alongside the Lost Cabin Cem. The map reveals a land utilized for ranching and resource extraction, specifically noted at the Gas Plant Rd. Prominent elevations such as Lookout Hill and Noble Ridge provide orientation across the draws and ridges of this Fremont County landscape.
