About this map

Lysite and Lost Cabin anchor this high-plains landscape in Fremont County, where the high desert is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and crucial water management. The hydrology of the region is centered on the winding path of Badwater Creek, supported by engineered features like the Burlington Ditch and several reservoirs including Waterworks Number 3 Reservoir and Lost Cabin Reservoir. These water sources were vital for sustaining the livestock and small settlements in an arid environment dominated by terrain features like Noble Ridge and Lookout Hill.

Genealogists and local historians can find specific points of interest such as the David Schoening Gravesite and the Lost Cabin Cem. The map also details the local infrastructure required for this isolated area, from the Bridger Creek Airport to the primary transit corridors of Lysite Moneta Rd and Badwater Rd, illustrating the intersection of remote ranching life and early 21st-century topography.
