2015 Map of Cow Creek Reservoir SW

About this map

Kinney Rim dominates the western edge of this Sweetwater County landscape, where an intricate network of livestock water management defines the high desert terrain. The area is marked by numerous small impoundments and catchments, including the W Cow Cr Ranch Reservoir and Humbolt Reservoir, supporting ranching operations in a region of significant elevation change. This 2015 survey reveals the topographical complexity of the high plains, where drainage features like Crooked Wash and Eagle Rock Draw channel seasonal runoff through the sagebrush-covered hills. The distribution of features like Espitallier Spring and the High Center Reservoir illustrates the persistent reliance on scattered water sources across the Great Divide Basin's rugged southwestern reaches.
