About this map

The Continental Divide National Scenic Trl traverses the northern high ground of this landscape, marking a prominent hydrological divide where drainage patterns shift toward Coyote Gulch. This 2021 survey reveals a territory defined by remote water sources and high-desert drainages across the Fremont Co Sweetwater Co line. Vital landmarks for local navigation and land use are centered on spring sites like Sulphur Bar Spring, Miller Springs, and Arnold Spring, which provide critical water in an otherwise arid expanse of rangeland.

Industrial and transit history is evidenced by the Riverview Cutoff, a road that cuts across the central drainage of S Fork Sulphur Cr. To the south, the terrain descends toward Daley Lake and the winding course of W Alkali Cr. This modern map preserves the traditional township and range grid system used for generations of Wyoming land management, providing a clear view of the relationship between high-altitude trails and the essential springs that have supported seasonal movement through this corner of the state.
