2021 Map of The Palisades

About this map

The drainage patterns of Fontenelle Cr define this section of the Wyoming landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into the complex system of creeks that feed the Green River basin. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparse ranching and high-plateau environment dominated by watercourses like Willow Cr, Sheep Cr, and Jackson Cr. The map reveals a land structured by historical township and range surveying, with few improved roads. Aside from Co RD 314 and Diamond D Rd, much of the area remains characterized by its natural relief, including the feature known as Dry Hollow. For those studying Wyoming land use and water rights, the detailed charting of these perennial and intermittent streams offers critical insight into the hydrology of Lincoln County.
