2015 Map of Stampede Meadow

About this map

The Sweetwater River carves through this high-altitude Wyoming landscape, where the southern reaches of the Granite Mountains meet the sweeping flats of Stampede Meadow. This map captures a remote section of Fremont County defined by its water-management history and long-standing ranching routes. The presence of the Emigrant Ditch running parallel to the river reflects early 20th-century irrigation efforts vital to survival in this arid environment. Significant watercourses like Buffalo Cr and Tin Cup Cr feed into the river system, while the road network indicates the area's utility. Ore Rd and Black Rock Rd intersect the terrain, likely serving local mining or ranching interests, while Highway 287 provides the primary modern connection through the region. The map offers a clear view of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, documenting the townships and ranges that organize this portion of the American West.
