About this map

Kinney Rim and Rifes Rim dominate the topography of this high-altitude landscape in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. The area is defined by a series of dramatic escarpments and basins, including the Chicken Springs Basin and several significant erosional features such as Scheggs Draw and Granary Draw. Water sources are sparse but critical in this arid environment, marked by the presence of Chicken Springs, Alkali Cr, and Chicken Cr.

A single primary artery, CR-77, provides the only major vehicle access through these remote sections of the Public Land Survey System, which include portions of Townships 13 through 15 North and Ranges 100 through 101 West. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns that have carved the basin floor, showing the complex network of ephemeral streams that feed into the larger creek systems during the seasonal runoff.
