The town of Lander serves as the gateway to the eastern slopes of the Wind River Range, where the high desert meets the forested foothills. This 2023 survey illustrates an intricate network of early water management, including the North Fork Ditch, Sandstone Ditch, and Paralda Ditch, which redirect water from the Middle Popo Agie River and its tributaries to support the local valley. To the southwest, the landscape rises sharply into the Shoshone National Forest, dominated by prominent landforms like Timber Top and the geological features of Sinks Canyon. Historical markers of settlement, such as the Borner Garden Cem, sit alongside numerous named gulches and hills, including Grimmetts Gulch and Mexican Joe Hill, reflecting the area's long history of ranching and exploration.
