2012 Map of Riverton East

About this map

The Wind River and Little Wind River converge in this high plains landscape, defining the hydrology and early development of the region east of Riverton. Irrigation and agriculture are central to the layout of the land, visible through the Riverton Number 2 Canal and the presence of the Wyoming Penitentiary Farm near the center of the sheet. The landscape is deeply incised by natural drainage features such as Doughty Draw, Kirby Draw, and Brown Draw, which break up the terrain around local landmarks like Neble Hill. Transportation and shipping history are grounded at Farmers Siding, while small settlements like Laird and Delfelder provide a look at the rural residential clusters that served the farming and ranching community in the early twenty-first century.
