2015 Map of Saint Lawrence Basin

About this map

Saint Lawrence Basin and the adjacent Sage Creek Basin form a high-altitude topographic profile of Fremont County, defined by prominent summits such as Bear Peak and Little Horse Peak. This 2015 USGS survey documents a complex hydrological system where high-country drainage begins, including the headwaters of Saint Lawrence Cr, Washakie Cr, and the N Fork Little Wind River. The landscape is notably open, with The Meadows situated in the southwestern corner, offering a contrast to the high-elevation Saint Lawrence Ridge. The network of seasonal and perennial water sources, like Wild Horse Spring and various forks of N Fork Sage Cr, highlights the critical role of water distribution in this arid western environment.
