2015 Map of Dripping Rock Spring

About this map

Courthouse Butte dominates the northern horizon of this high-desert landscape on the border of Sweetwater and Carbon counties. This environment is characterized by a sophisticated network of water management features, including the Continental Reservoir Number 1 and Dripping Rock Reservoir, which highlight the essential role of water collection in the arid West. The presence of Hartt Cabin Spring and Hartt Cabin Draw suggests a history of cattle ranching or early homesteading, while Dripping Rock Pit Number 2 indicates localized industrial activity. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainage patterns such as South Barrel Springs Draw and Hangout Wash, providing a clear record of the geological forces shaping the area's plateaus and ridges, including the prominent West Flat Top Mtn.
