2015 Map of Chicken Creek SE

About this map

Kinney Rim dominates the northeastern landscape of this high desert region in Sweetwater County, marking a significant topographical break in an area defined by its arid drainage systems. The map details the complex natural hydrology of the Great Divide Basin, where seasonal watercourses like Crooked Wash and Alkali Cr carve through the terrain. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the deep incision of Hells Canyon provides a stark contrast to the surrounding high plains. Evidence of modern infrastructure is sparse, primarily represented by the path of Hiawatha Rd, which traverses the southern townships. This survey serves as a precise record of the public land survey system, illustrating the grid of townships and ranges that overlay this remote section of the Wyoming-Colorado borderlands.
