2015 Map of Cow Creek Reservoir

About this map

Shell Cr meanders through this high desert landscape of Sweetwater County, defining a drainage system that supported a series of small water catchments. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations such as Five Monument Butte and the edge of the Adobe Town Rim. This 2015 survey illustrates a remote ranching or wildlife management infrastructure, where scattered man-made water sources like Petrified Wood Reservoir, Moonstone Reservoir, and Trouble Reservoir provide essential resources in an otherwise arid environment. The presence of named features like Guthridge Reservoir and Reynolds Reservoir suggests historical land use patterns or family associations tied to the local water rights. Access to these areas is limited to primitive routes like BLM-4412, highlighting the isolation of this corner of Wyoming.
