In Wyoming, we know where to find natural
resources. We can follow pronghorns, elk and deer
on their seasonal migrations. But we have not had
the same information about which places people
care about and why. We created social maps for 3 counties
and describe that process in this report. People
agreed on important places and where development
should occur. . . . We surveyed residents of Albany, Carbon, and
Sweetwater counties in 2010. Most participants
reported that fish and wildlife habitat, availability of
water, and open spaces and scenic views are extremely
or very important to them.
