About this map

The Wind River carves a braided path through this high-desert landscape in central Wyoming, defining a terrain shaped by early 21st-century irrigation and ranching. The map reveals an intricate network of man-made waterways essential to the region's agriculture, including the substantial Leclair Canal and the Pilot Canal, which draw from the river to support the surrounding fields. These canals run roughly parallel to the river's course, illustrating the technical efforts required to manage water in the arid Buckhorn Flats area.

Local genealogy and land use are anchored by the Collins Cem and several family-named thoroughfares. Roads such as Heil Ranch Rd and Triangle Ranch Rd indicate the established cattle and hay operations that have long dominated this part of Fremont County. The infrastructure is further defined by the Lefthand Ditch, underscoring the vital role of water rights and distribution in the local economy and settlement patterns.
