About this map

Lysite and nearby Lost Cabin serve as the primary human hubs in this arid Fremont County landscape, situated where Badwater Creek meets the local road network. The map reveals a high concentration of water management features essential for livestock and settlement in the high plains, including the Burlington Ditch, Burlington Reservoir, and Waterworks Number 3 Reservoir. Of particular interest to genealogists and local historians are the Lost Cabin Cem and the isolated David Schoening Gravesite, which provide specific points of family history within the township boundaries.

Transport and topography are defined by the winding course of Bridger Cr and the heights of Lookout Hill and Dolis Hill. The presence of the Bridger Creek Airport and named crossings like Philip Xing highlight the logistical adaptations required for this remote terrain. Numerous draws and reservoirs, such as Poison Draw and Days Reservoir, further illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Badwater region.
