2012 Map of Ninemile Hill

About this map

Ninemile Hill and Monument Butte define the topography of this Fremont County landscape, which is marked by a sophisticated network of water management features. The area's reliance on seasonal runoff is evident in the numerous namesake catchments including Lander Valley Reservoir, Charlies Reservoir, and Deep Pit Reservoir. These sites, along with Red Lake, suggest a pastoral economy dependent on irrigation and livestock watering in a semi-arid environment. Access to the interior is provided by rural routes such as Strutting Ground Rd and Beaver Creek Rd, which navigate the drainage patterns of Haynes Draw. The map captures the infrastructure of the Wyoming rangeland, where named reservoirs like Chugwater Reservoir serve as vital landmarks across the high plains.
