2015 Map of Sublet

About this map

Commissary Ridge dominates the western horizon of this high-altitude landscape in Lincoln County, where the settlement of Sublet sits positioned between the uplands and the drainage of Willow Creek. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south geological features, including Oyster Ridge and the broad Pomeroy Basin, which direct the flow of water through numerous small tributaries like Muddy Creek and Carl Creek. Historically, water management in this arid environment is evident through the naming of localized features such as Willey Number 1 Reservoir and Colletti Number 2 Reservoir, as well as several reliable water sources like Van Gilder Spring and Alkali Spring. The transportation network is a mixture of established county roads and specialized routes such as Pomeroy Road and Milky Way Road, which traverse the high gaps and basins to connect the ranching and resource lands of the Wyoming high desert.
