2015 Map of Mount Arter SE

About this map

Lander serves as the gateway to the high elevations of the Shoshone National Forest in this survey of the foothills. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the residential edges of town to the limestone cliffs and deep incisions of Sinks Canyon and Sheep Canyon. This area's hydrology is complex, with the Middle Popo Agie River and Baldwin Creek supplemented by a network of historic agricultural infrastructure, including the Big Cottonwood Ditch and the Nicol-Table Mountain Ditch. Named landmarks such as Red Butte, Mexican Joe Hill, and Table Mountain provide clear reference points for the local terrain. The map also records numerous gulches and draws like Grimmetts Gulch and Kimbal Draw, illustrating the rugged drainage patterns that have shaped the region's development and ranching history.
