2017 Map of Mount Arter SE

About this map

Lander's rugged southwestern fringes are defined by a complex network of agricultural irrigation and deep canyon topography. Water management is a primary feature of the landscape, with historical routes like the Sinks Canyon Rd following the Middle Popo Agie River into the Shoshone National Forest. The map documents numerous irrigation systems such as the N Fork Ditch, Big Cottonwood Ditch, and Sandstone Ditch, which supported local ranching and agriculture below the high ridges of Lander Hill and Table Mtn. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Borner Garden Cem tucked into the hills southeast of the main settlement. Named landmarks like Mexican Joe Hill, Grimmetts Gulch, and Ferguson Gulch provide a window into the family names and early settlers who established the rural landscape surrounding this Fremont County hub.
