About this map

Mount Arter stands as a prominent high point in this corner of the Wind River Range, overseeing a landscape defined by dramatic canyons and historic high-country ranching. The N Popo Agie River carves through the northern reaches, winding past North Fork Canyon and Bragg Canyon. This 2012 survey illustrates the remote human footprint in the region, noting the Farlow Homestead and established outfits like the Hart Ranch and Pine Bar Ranch.

Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Standish Ditch and Brown Jug Ditch which divert mountain flows. High-altitude crossings such as Cyclone Pass and Cony Pass connect the drainage basins, while the descriptive Suicide Point and the cattle-grazing grounds of Mormon Basin reflect the lore and labor of the Wyoming backcountry. Access remains limited to rugged routes like Shoshoni Lake Rd, emphasizing the isolation of these mountain slopes.
