About this map

Schoettlin Mtn and Sheep Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape in Fremont County, where the terrain transitions sharply through the prominent escarpment of Beaver Rim. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation reveals a region defined by its hydrography and complex drainage patterns, featuring numerous named springs such as Hot Spring, Sulphur Spring, and the Woolery Ranch Spring. These water sources were vital for the ranching operations that historically utilized the surrounding draws and gulches.

Water management is evidenced by the Miller Ditch, which cuts through the northeastern sector near Red Bluff Canyon. The map details the transition from the relatively level McGraw Flats to the more broken country of Dillabaugh Buttes and Red Canyon. Navigational routes like Twin Creek Rd provide the primary access through this remote portion of the Wind River Basin, tracing the paths of seasonal watercourses like Beaver Cr and Lead Meadows Cr.
