2017 Map of Merna

About this map

The settlement of Merna sits at the heart of this Sublette County landscape, positioned where the high plains meet the eastern fringes of the Bridger National Forest. The geography is defined by a series of prominent ridges and drainages, including Beaver Ridge to the north and Aspen Ridge to the south. A network of ranch roads and local connectors like Daniel Merna Rd and Cottonwood Park Rd navigate the complex terrain, weaving between local landmarks such as Merna Butte and broad grazing areas like Haines Flat. This area is heavily defined by its water system, where Lead Cr and the various forks of Horse Cr—including N Horse Cr and S Horse Cr—flow through deep draws like Horse Pasture Draw and Brodie Draw. The map reflects a modern rural Wyoming landscape where traditional cattle ranching and public forest lands intersect.
