2017 Map of The Palisades

About this map

Fontenelle Cr dominates the northern landscape of this Lincoln County region, where a series of seasonal and perennial watercourses carve through the high-altitude terrain. The drainage patterns of Willow Cr, Sheep Cr, and Jackson Cr illustrate the hydrologic network that defines this part of Wyoming. These creek beds and the wide depression of Dry Hollow are the primary landmarks in an area otherwise characterized by the Public Land Survey System grids of t24n r114w and its neighbors. Human passage through this open country is marked by few roads, primarily Co RD 314 and Diamond D Rd, which follow the natural contours of the stream valleys. This documentation of the area's physical geography is essential for understanding the remote ranching or resource extraction landscape of the early twenty-first century.
