About this map

Killpecker Cr defines the drainage of this arid Sweetwater County landscape, flowing southward through a network of desert washes and seasonal stream beds. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts as evidenced by Cedar Canyon and Crooked Canyon, which reveal the erosive history of the high Wyoming plains. Human presence is light and primarily represented by transportation corridors, with Chilton Rd and Co Rd-17 providing the primary access points through this remote section of the Red Desert. This 2012 survey captures the area during a period of modern geospatial mapping, documenting the intersection of natural drainage patterns and the rural road network that serves the region's energy and ranching interests.
