About this map

Burnaugh Cem sits as a quiet landmark amidst the high desert drainage of Fremont County, where irrigation infrastructure meets the open range. This 2017 study illustrates the complex water management systems of the region, featuring the Badger Wasteway and the Upper Reservoir, which support the surrounding agricultural landscape. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations such as Sand Mesa and the prominent Muddy Ridge to the southwest.

A network of gravel and local roads, including Wyoming Canal Rd and Mexican Pass Rd, provides access across the townships of T4N and T5N. The hydrology of the area is dominated by the seasonal flows of Cottonwood Cr and Muddy Creek, which carve through the draws and flats. For those looking for family connections or land use history, this survey preserves the spatial relationship between legacy irrigation features and small-scale landmarks like Red Springs Draw.
