About this map

Bear River winding through the southwestern corner of this Lincoln County landscape provides the primary hydrological anchor for a complex network of agricultural irrigation. The area near the settlement of Marse and the geological formation known as The Narrows is defined by a dense concentration of man-made waterways, including the Noblett Ditch and the lengthy Stoner Nelson Wheelock Ditch. These diversions illustrate the persistent effort to manage water in a high-elevation environment dominated by the Sublette Range.

High country to the north and east is characterized by deep drainages and ridges, such as Groo Canyon and Muddy Ridge. Numerous seasonal and perennial streams like Mill Cr and Muddy Cr descend from these heights toward the basin. The inclusion of the Rio Oso Ranch and Bridgeway Ln reflects the enduring pastoral use of this terrain, where irrigation projects like the Emelle Ditch support ranching operations along the flats.
