2012 Map of Merna

About this map

Merna sits as a central settlement in this high-altitude Wyoming ranching landscape, positioned at the convergence of several drainage systems. The terrain is defined by the prominent Beaver Ridge to the north and the distinctive Merna Butte to the west, with the sweeping expanse of Haines Flat characterizing the southern portion of the sheet. This 2012 survey illustrates a network of rural roads such as Siems Rd and Daniel Merna Rd that follow the natural contours of the land, connecting isolated ranching homesteads across the valley. Water remains a vital element of this territory, with Dry Beaver Cr, Lead Cr, and various branches of Horse Cr threading through the topography. The naming of local features like Horse Pasture Draw reflects the enduring agricultural and pastoral heritage of Sublette County.
