1968 Map of Chicken Creek East

About this map

Kinney Rim dominates the landscape of this Sweetwater County survey, creating a sharp topographic boundary between the high plateau and the drainages below. The late 1960s environment is characterized by its isolation and reliance on sparse water sources like Carson Spring and several unnamed Springs scattered across the basin. Small-scale human presence is marked by Davis Cabin near the headwaters of Chicken Creek, along with a lone Corral to the south. The map documents multiple Drill Holes, signaling the exploration for subsurface resources in this high desert terrain. The drainage patterns of Alkali Creek further define the arid geography, where narrow watercourses have carved into the sediment beneath the prominent rim.
