Location of Counties.

The three counties lie in the order
named, with Fremont on the north.
Each OF them is about 100 miles long
from east to west, and their eastern
borders touch the Wyoming line.
From the south boundary OF Bingham
county to the north line of Fremont
county is about 120 miles, roughly
speaking. These three modest coun-
ties together cover larger area than
Delaware, Maryland. or any OF the
New England states except Maine.

tain at least two Of these states with
