2015 Map of Round Mountain

About this map

The historical Emigrant Trl winds through the northern reaches of this Wyoming landscape, marking a legacy of westward expansion preserved in the terrain of Lincoln County. Rising above the various forks of the local drainage system, Slate Creek Ridge and the prominent Round Mtn anchor the high ground, while water sources such as Mud Spring and Emigrant Spring highlight the essential resources relied upon by travelers following the historic trail. The map documents a complex network of seasonal and permanent water features, including Jenkins Springs and the Elias P Reservoir. The landscape is further defined by its distinct natural depressions and drainage routes, such as Matthews Draw and Horse Trap Draw, which provide a detailed look at the geographic character of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
