About this map

The Hogsback and Hogsback Ridge form a prominent spine through this Wyoming landscape, defining the drainage patterns of the high desert terrain. The settlement of Calpet sits in the southeastern corner of the map, serving as a hub for local infrastructure including Calpet Dr and the Big Piney Calpet Rd. To the south, the Sublette Co / Lincoln Co line bisects the territory, where the Viola - LaBarge Cem provides a significant genealogical touchpoint for local families.

Water sources are vital in this arid environment, marked by named springs such as Gentle Annies Spring and Oreana Spring. The map documents early 21st-century resource extraction and land management, including the Salli Mine and numerous Bureau of Land Management routes like BLM Rd 5323. Features such as Buckman Hollow, Wildcat Canyon, and Big Mesa illustrate a complex topography where high ridges drop into named draws and hollows.
