About this map

Kotey Place and the scattered clearings of Onion Flats anchor this Fremont County landscape, where the high desert meets the drainages of the Little Popo Agie River. The terrain is defined by a series of significant ridges and divides, most notably Cottonwood Divide and the Red Canyon Rim in the south. The area's hydrology is marked by numerous springs such as Coal Mine Spring and Critnan Springs, which feed a network of creeks including Weiser Cr and Twin Cr.

Tracing the geography reveals a history of movement and small-scale habitation, with Johnny Falls Trail and naming conventions like Johnny On Top suggesting early paths through the draws. The transition from the flatlands to the more complex topography of Devils Canyon and Weiser Pass illustrates the isolation of these high-altitude meadows, such as Hofftowe Meadows, which served as critical water points and seasonal grazing sites in this part of Wyoming.
