About this map

Mt Arter and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Shoshone National Forest define this 2017 topographic survey of Fremont County. The map documents a complex hydrological system where the N Popo Agie River carves through North Fork Canyon and Bragg Canyon, while numerous smaller drainages like Mexican Cr and Sand Cr feed into the regional watershed. A distinctive cluster of features, including Mormon Basin, Mormon Gulch, and Mormon Spring, indicates localized historical significance or settlement patterns in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Mountainous passes and primitive routes provide the primary access through this landscape, with Cony Pass and Cyclone Pass marking high-elevation transit points. Named landmarks such as Suicide Point, Uncle Tom Spring, and Fairfield Hill serve as navigational anchors for researchers and surveyors. The presence of the Brown Jug Ditch suggests historical water management efforts in this part of the Wind River Range foothills.
