2021 Map of Wilderness

About this map

Wind River and the complex irrigation networks of the Wind-River-Canal and Dinwoody Canal define this landscape in the Fremont County high country. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, from the depths of Dinwoody Lake to the prominent heights of Dinwoody Ridge. The mapping records a high-altitude agricultural and ranching environment where water management is paramount, evidenced by the presence of Lannigans Ditch and several named draws including Jenkins Draw and Coal Draw. Significant thoroughfares like the Old Yellowstone Hwy and Burris-Lenore Rd cut across the drainage basins, connecting this remote territory to the wider Wyoming transport network. This 2021 survey provides a contemporary look at the intersection of natural watercourses like Dinwoody Cr and the engineered systems that support the region's land use.
