2015 Map of Crooks Mountain

About this map

Crooks Mtn dominates this high-altitude landscape in Fremont County, where the topography transitions from the high plains of the Red Desert into the southern foothills of the Granite Mountains. A section of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail- Wyoming Portion traverses the southwestern slopes, marking a critical corridor for transcontinental navigation. The drainage patterns are defined by seasonally variable waterways like Haypress Cr and Cottonwood Cr, which carve through the arid terrain toward localized catchments such as Boggy Springs Pond and Woods Gulch Pond. Isolated thoroughfares like Happy Springs Rd and Lockhart Ranch Rd provide the only established access through this high-desert environment, where grazing and wildlife management define the land use.
