About this map

Alkali Cr winds through the high-elevation basin of Sweetwater County, marking the drainage pattern of this high desert landscape. The terrain is organized by the Public Land Survey System, which establishes the grid of t22n r106w and t21n r106w among other townships. This grid-based division of the land reflects the systematic approach to western land management and resource mapping common throughout Wyoming.

Remote transportation is facilitated by Co Rd 14, which serves as a primary access point for this expanse of the Great Divide Basin. The contour lines trace a complex network of draws and ridges, illustrating the erosion patterns that characterize the local geography. This 2021 survey provides a baseline of contemporary road networks and hydrological features for land use researchers and outdoor enthusiasts examining the Wyoming interior.
