2023 Map of Mount Arter

About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Fremont County, where the southern Wind River Range terrain defines the local geography. The map provides a look at the intricate water systems essential to the region, including the North Popo Agie River and its canyons, alongside early irrigation efforts seen in the Brown Jug Ditch and Cavendish Ditch. Cultural history is etched into the landscape through names like Mormon Basin, Mormon Gulch, and Mormon Spring, suggesting the paths of early settlers and pioneers. High-elevation points such as Mt Arter and the starkly named Suicide Point overlook a network of backcountry routes, including the Farlow Trl and Cony Pass Trl, which navigate through Cony Basin and across several mountain passes. This survey serves as a primary record of the drainage patterns from Bragg Mtn and the various springs, such as Uncle Tom Spring and Charcoal Spring, that feed into the larger river systems.
