About this map

The Sweetwater River winds through the southern portion of this high-altitude landscape in Fremont County, providing a vital water source in an otherwise arid environment of flats and draws. This 2015 survey reveals the topographic complexities of the Granite Mountains, where geological formations like Jamerman Rock and corridors such as Black Rock Gap and Quaking Asp Gap define the passage through the high country.

Surface water is concentrated in features like the Soda Lakes and the Dome Rock Reservoir, which highlight the region's managed water resources. Access is traced via established routes like Agate Flat Rd and Black Rock Rd, which cross the wide expanse of Agate Flats. For the researcher, the map details the intersection of historic water gaps and seasonal drainages including Diamond Springs Draw and Sage Hen Cr.
