About this map

Red Mountain anchors the southern landscape of this tri-state border region, where the high country of Wyoming meets Idaho and Utah. The drainage patterns are defined by a network of seasonal and perennial flows including Sweetwater Creek, Horse Creek, and Potato Creek, which carve out numerous hollows such as Dairy Hollow and Boyd Hollow. A single developed route, Nurenberg Ranch Rd, provides access into the interior, passing near Taylor Meadow and Red Rock Canyon.

Evidence of range management and water infrastructure is concentrated at the Poison Creek Reservoir, supported by the Poison Creek Dam. Other topographic features like Windmill Draw and Swine Bend Hollow reflect the area's agricultural and livestock history. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise look at the hydrology and terrain of this corner of Lincoln County, including the headwaters of Pegram Creek and Christy Creek.
