About this map

Kinney Rim dominates the western landscape of this Sweetwater County survey, marking a significant topographical break in a region defined by its drainage systems and water management. In this arid expanse, the distribution of numerous small catchments like Muir Reservoir, Humboldt Reservoir, and Forsaken Reservoir illustrates the infrastructure required to support ranching and wildlife in high-desert terrain. Shell Creek meanders through the central and eastern portions, providing a natural corridor for movement and water through the basin.

Water sources are named with local specificity, from the Espitallier Spring to the strategically placed Section Line Reservoir. The southeastern corner is marked by the descent of Eagle Rock Draw near Wild Horse Reservoir, while the northern reaches include the West Cow Creek Ranch Reservoir. The map captures a functional landscape of resource management, where every drainage and spring is a vital landmark for navigation and land use.
