1968 Map of Chicken Creek East

About this map

The Kinney Rim dominates this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, creating a sharp topographical divide across the terrain. At the base of the escarpment, the transient waters of Alkali Creek and Chicken Creek drain the western slopes, where Davis Cabins stands as one of the few named structures in this expansive rangeland. This 1968 survey reveals a land managed for grazing and resource exploration, evidenced by scattered Springs such as Carson Spring and a solitary Corral located near the southern boundary. The presence of numerous Drill Hole markers throughout the quadrangle highlights the mid-century industrial interest in the geological potential of the area's subterranean layers, even as the surface remained dedicated to traditional western land use.
