2017 Map of Muskrat Basin

About this map

Muskrat Basin defines this high-altitude landscape in Fremont County, where drainage patterns carve deep pathways through the terrain. The central topographical feature, Beaver Rim, creates a distinct line across the southern portion of the quadrangle, influencing the flow of local waterways. These intermittent and perennial streams, including Muskrat Cr and Buffalo Cr, demonstrate a complex hydrologic network typical of this part of Wyoming. To the north, the terrain is further defined by the convergences at Cottonwood Draw and the split headwaters of Middle Fork Horseshoe Draw and East Fork Horseshoe Draw. The map reveals a land primarily shaped by its natural draws and creek beds, with minor road networks tracing the edges of the basins and ridges.
