About this map

Red Canyon cuts through the center of this Wyoming landscape, revealing the complex drainage systems of Fremont County. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts at Beaver Rim and the deep incisions of Wood Canyon and Reno Draw. Water management in this arid environment is evident through the placement of Jackson Reservoir and Antelope Springs Reservoir, which capture runoff from seasonal drainages like Antelope Cr and Little Antelope Cr.

Historically significant routes like the Hudson-Atlantic City Rd traverse the high desert, connecting distant mining and ranching hubs. Natural water sources such as Jackson Spring and Bain Spring remain critical landmarks across the township grids. In the southern reaches, the Sweetwater River flows toward the map's edge, anchoring the region's broader hydrology alongside numerous ephemeral streams including Coal Sulphur Cr and Soap Hole Draw.
