About this map

The eponymous Devils Playground terrain dominates this portion of Sweetwater County, defined by a complex network of high-desert drainages and ridges. Elevated landmarks like Black Mtn rise above the surrounding flats, while seasonal water sources such as Pine Spring provide rare focal points in the arid landscape. To the northeast, the map shows the western edge of the Ashley National Forest, where the topography meets the shoreline of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir.

Infrastructure is sparse across this high plateau, primarily limited to the passage of Highway 530 and Mckinnon Rd. Large drainage systems, including Buckboard Wash, Anvil Wash, and Squaw Hollow, illustrate the natural erosion patterns that have carved this territory. This survey is a detailed record of the remote intersections between public forest lands and the open range in southwestern Wyoming.
