2021 Map of Chicken Creek West

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Kinney Rim and Rifes Rim dominate this high-altitude landscape in Sweetwater County, where the topography is defined by dramatic escarpments and complex drainage systems. The map details a network of ephemeral water sources and seasonal channels, including Chicken Springs and the winding course of Chicken Cr. These features, along with Alkali Cr, suggest a land primarily utilized for livestock grazing and open-range movement, as evidenced by the presence of Bitter Creek Rd skirting the southern draws. Geologists and local historians can trace the specific erosional patterns of Scheggs Draw, East Draw, and Granary Draw, which illustrate the rugged character of this part of the Wyoming interior. The map also clearly delineates the township and range boundaries that have governed land management in this arid region since the original public land surveys.
