2012 Map of Riverton West

About this map

The Wind River defines the southern reach of this landscape, supporting a complex network of man-made waterways essential to the region's development. Features like the Wyoming Central Canal, Pilot Canal, and Lefthand Ditch illustrate a concerted effort to manage water across the arid Wyoming terrain. The western outskirts of Riverton show the city's growth, including the residential area of Riverview Valley and the expansive grounds of the Riverton Regional Airport. Local history is anchored by the presence of Mountain View Cem and the Odd Fellows Cem, providing important touchstones for genealogical research. The transition from the structured streets of the city to the open agricultural land is marked by natural features like Berlin Draw and Haymaker Cr, showcasing the balance between urban expansion and the high plains environment.
