2017 Map of Wilkinson Creek

About this map

Lake Viva Naughton sits at the southern edge of this high-elevation Wyoming landscape, where the waters of Hams Fork are managed through an intricate system of early water rights and irrigation engineering. The presence of the Johnson Spencer Ditch, E Stock Ditch, and Smith Ditch Number 1 indicates the historical importance of water diversion for ranching and agriculture in Lincoln County. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, including Wilkinson Creek and the multiple branches of Dempsey Creek, which flow through features like the Dempsey Basin. A small network of rural routes, such as Hams Fork Road and County Road 305, provides the primary access through this sparsely settled region, connecting the scattered water resources and prominent landmarks like Pink Hill.
