About this map

Yellowstone Ranch serves as the central focal point in this portion of Fremont County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of ephemeral watercourses and grazing lands. The terrain rises sharply toward the southern boundary at Beaver Rim, a prominent escarpment that overlooks the drainage basins below. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Samuel P Large Ditch and the Auer Reservoir, which support local ranching operations in an otherwise arid environment.

Transportation through this high-desert country follows established corridors like Beaver Creek Rd and the path of Old Hwy 789, which parallel the natural flow of Beaver Cr. Numerous named draws, including Government Slide Draw and Shearing Pen Draw, illustrate the erosional history of the basin. This map provides a clear view of how early 21st-century infrastructure, such as Route 287, integrates with long-standing landmarks like Devils Gap Spring.
