About this map

The Wind River Canal and Dinwoody Canal dominate this Fremont County landscape, illustrating the intricate water management systems essential to this region. At the heart of the map lies the settlement of Wilderness, positioned near the confluence of natural hydrology and man-made irrigation. The terrain is defined by numerous drainage features such as East Fork Jenkins Draw and Coal Draw, which feed toward the main arterial flow of the Wind River.

Transportation through this high-desert environment follows historical corridors, most notably the Old Yellowstone Hwy. To the southwest, the waters of Dinwoody Lake and the Dinwoody Lakes sit at the base of the rising topography, while to the east, Crow Cr meanders past the junctions of Circle Ridge Rd and Crow Creek Rd. The map provides a clear record of the intersection between early automotive routes and the vital ditch systems like Lannigans Ditch that sustain local life.
