About this map

Bridger National Forest defines the upper elevations of this Lincoln County survey, where the drainages of Salt Cr and Fish Cr carve through high-altitude terrain. The landscape is characterized by prominent high points like Pine Knoll and the Gannett Hills, which overlook basins such as Salt Flat and Allred Flat. These flats likely served as critical open spaces for grazing or seasonal movement in an otherwise steep environment.

Infrastructure is minimal, consisting of forest service routes and the recreational Fish Creek Xc Ski Trail. Water sources are numerous, including Lost Cr, Packstring Cr, and Dipper Cr, which fed the local cattle and sheep industries of the early twenty-first century. This map traces the intersection of public land management and natural topography, from the deep recesses of Water Canyon to the winding path of Co Rd 219.
