2021 Map of Stampede Meadow

About this map

Sweetwater River meanders across the southern portion of this high-desert landscape in Fremont County, marking a vital water source in an arid region. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Granite Mountains and the prominent outcrops of the Sweetwater Rocks. To the north, the topography softens into the wide expanse of Stampede Meadow and the nearby Stampede Bog, which are fed by the intermittent flows of Buffalo Creek and Tin Cup Cr. Evidence of early water management and cattle ranching history is visible in the presence of the Emigrant Ditch, which cuts across the flats south of the river. The lone named thoroughfare, Ore Rd, suggests a legacy of resource extraction or transport through this isolated stretch of the Wyoming interior.
