2012 Map of Sheep Ridge

About this map

Sheep Ridge dominates this high-altitude landscape in Fremont County, where a network of seasonal drainages carves through the open range. The map documents a sparse, working landscape defined by the Harris Ranch and its connection to the outside via Harris Rd. The drainage patterns here are complex, featuring the upper reaches of W Fork Sheep Cr and E Fork Sheep Cr, alongside several other named tributaries like Shotgun Cr and Deer Cr. To the northeast, the terrain levels out at Mud Flat near the headwaters of N Fork Mud Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring nature of Wyoming's ranching country, where settlement remains concentrated at established homesteads while names like Red Cr and Dry Cottonwood Cr signify the vital but intermittent water sources that dictate movement across the ridge.
