2015 Map of Morrison Canyon

About this map

Antelope Butte and Stagner Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape along the border of Fremont and Hot Springs counties. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages and seasonal water sources, including Jergens Draw and Shearing Pen Draw. Significant grazing or ranching infrastructure is suggested by features such as Shearing Pen Spring and the presence of Gill Meadows. Transport through this pocket of the Wind River Basin is limited to routes like Burgess Rd, which navigates the lower elevations near Stagner Cr. The map reveals a land utilized for its scattered water points, from Nicholson Springs and Twin Springs to the larger Buffalo Lake, illustrating the critical role of water in the high desert of central Wyoming. This 2015 survey provides a clear view of the topographical transition from mountain slopes into the expansive Morrison Canyon and Morrison Meadows.
