About this map

Missouri Valley occupies the central agricultural corridor of this Fremont County landscape, defined by an intricate network of irrigation channels. The complexity of local water management is evident in the numerous laterals, such as Lateral P-27.0- B and Lateral P-34.0, which divert water to sustain the valley. This system supports the rural settlements of Missouri Valley and Riverton Valley against a backdrop of arid landforms like Sand Gulch and Doughty Draw. To the north and south, the terrain becomes more varied, as indicated by the presence of Marlatt Spr and Clothesline Spr. The road network, featuring names like Bushwhacker Rd and Hoot Owl Rd, reflects a history of ranching and land use across the Fivemile Creek drainage area.
