About this map

Sweetwater Station serves as the central landmark in this high-plains landscape, situated where the Sweetwater River winds through the valley. This 2017 survey details a sophisticated network of early water management features essential for the region, including the Graham and Farmsley Ditch Number 1, Graham and Farmsley Ditch Number 2, and the National Ditch. These irrigation systems speak to the history of ranching and land use in Fremont County.

The historical significance of the terrain is highlighted by the path of the Oregon Trl, which traverses the southwestern portion of the sheet. Diverse natural features such as Government Meadows and Rocky Draw define the topography, while numerous watercourses like Crooked Cr and Warm Springs Cr converge toward the river. This documentation preserves the naming conventions of specific local landmarks, from Carmody Lake to the various named draws and basins that have shaped human travel and settlement in the Wyoming interior.
