After about a century of managing the Muddy Ridge area in northern Fremont County, a federal agency is ready to give it to someone else.
The Bureau of Reclamation is revoking its management of roughly 60,000 acres in the Muddy Ridge area north of Riverton, Wyoming.
Reclamation’s fellow federal agency the Bureau of Land Management is considering taking on the acreage and maintaining it as public lands. If BLM does not want to do that, the region could go next to other entities, starting with the Bureau of Indian Affairs on behalf of the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes.
