2012 Map of Crater Sink

About this map

Richmans Ranch and Kemp Ranch serve as primary human markers in this high-desert landscape of Hot Springs County, where the topography is defined by the complex drainage of Cottonwood Cr and Wagonhound Cr. The terrain features the notable Crater Sink, a geological depression situated west of the major creek beds. Connectivity through the region is maintained by unpaved routes like Upper Cottonwood Creek Rd and Hamilton Dame Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, represented by named features such as Wagonhound Spring and the seasonally intermittent flow of Prospect Cr and Little Prospect Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring ranching character and the sparse infrastructure typical of Wyoming's basin and range country.
