About this map

Morton serves as a focal point for this Fremont County landscape, situated near the managed waters of the Pilot Butte Reservoir. This 2017 survey illustrates the intricate water management systems of the region, featuring the Aragon Ditch and Hurtado Ditch which navigate the terrain between Mexican Flat and Bighorn Flat. These irrigation networks are essential components of the local agricultural geography, supporting the valley even as the terrain rises toward prominent landforms like Pilot Butte and Bighorn Butte.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific burial sites including Hurtado Cem and Chavez Cem, located north of the Wind River. The map also details the rural road network, with routes like Maverick Springs Rd and Tipperary Rd connecting isolated draws and basins. From the depths of Enos Basin to the expanse of Kinnear Valley, the documentation provides a clear view of how land use and topography intersect in this part of Wyoming.
