About this map

Moneta serves as the central hub of this Fremont County landscape, situated along a transportation corridor where the Moneta-Svc-Rd and US Route 20/26 intersect. The surrounding terrain is defined by an intricate network of ephemeral watercourses and draws, such as Poison Cr and Frenchie Draw, which carve through the high plains toward features like the Alkali Flats. Local ranching and land management are evident through the naming of various rural routes, including Linn Ranch Rd and Scotty Clark Rd, which provide access to the hinterlands.

Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the presence of the Graham Reservoir and Frenchie Reservoir, essential landmarks for both navigation and local livestock. To the north, the Moneta Hills rise above the drainage basins of Day Gulch and Reservoir Cr, while the southeastern corner reaches toward the grazing lands of Merriam Meadows. This topographic study by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a region of Wyoming where geography is dictated by the seasonal flow of water and the long-established ranching trails.
