2021 Map of Anderson Canyon

About this map

The California-Oregon Trl cuts across the northern reaches of this landscape, marking a historic corridor of western migration that remains etched into the modern topography. Situated along the boundary between Lincoln and Sweetwater counties, the area is defined by a complex network of drainages and high points. Significant geological depressions such as Anderson Canyon and Delaney Canyon characterize the western sections, while the West Fork Buckhorn Canyon dominates the northeast. This terrain is accessible via a sparse network of rural routes including Steed Rd and Colorado Rd. A prominent landmark, Little Monument, stands in the southeast, serving as a distinct navigational point amidst the high desert environment. The map effectively illustrates the intersection of pioneering history and current county delineations in this sparsely settled region.
