2021 Map of Continental Peak

About this map

Continental Peak dominates this high-desert landscape in the Wyoming backcountry, marking a prominent point near the boundary where the high plains meet the intricate drainages of the Great Divide Basin. This 2021 survey illustrates a complex hydrologic network of ephemeral and seasonal watercourses, including Oregon Slough and Meadow Cr, which weave through the Oregon Gulch region. To the southeast, the Honeycomb Buttes rise near the Fremont Co Sweetwater Co line, offering a look at the unique erosional landforms that define this part of the Red Desert. The map serves as a detailed record of the drainage patterns for Sand Cr and Red Cr, revealing the subtle topography and land management divisions of the Public Land Survey System that govern this uninhabited rangeland.
