About this map

Hams Fork winds through this high-elevation terrain of Lincoln County, defining a complex irrigation network that includes the Johnson-Spencer Ditch, E Stock Ditch, and Smith Ditch Number 1. This 2015 survey reveals how water management shapes the landscape, culminating in the northern reaches of Lake Viva Naughton at the southern edge of the quadrangle. The topography is marked by significant drainages and basins, most notably the Dempsey Basin, which is fed by the N Fork Dempsey Cr and S Fork Dempsey Cr.

Upland features such as Pink Hill and Spring Gulch provide navigational landmarks within the vast open range. The area is intersected by several named routes, including Corral Creek Rd and WY-233, which facilitate access across the varied terrain of Wilkinson Cr and Beaver Cr. This map serves as a modern record of the intersection between Wyoming's natural hydrology and the historical water-rights infrastructure essential to the region's ranching economy.
