2017 Map of Names Hill

About this map

Names Hill rises above the Green River valley, serving as a landmark in this Wyoming landscape where high desert terrain meets the waters of the Fontenelle Reservoir. The geography is defined by a series of significant drainages and canyons, including Spur Canyon, Steed Canyon, and Anderson Canyon, which cut through the high ground east of the river. The presence of the Sublette Cutoff indicates the historical importance of this corridor as a transit route through Lincoln County. To the west, the land transitions into lower-lying basins fed by La Barge Cr and Muddy Cr, with prominent elevations like Holden Hill and Holden Hollow marking the southwestern quadrant. This survey shows the modern road network, including La Barge Creek Rd and Muddy Creek Rd, overlaid on a landscape still deeply marked by its traditional creek systems and natural canyon formations.
