2012 Map of Erickson-Kent Ranch

About this map

E Salt Wells Cr carves a long drainage through this high desert region of Sweetwater County, shaping a landscape defined by deep draws and ranching heritage. The presence of the Erickson-Kent Ranch and the Rife Windmill underscores the importance of water management in this arid environment, where life centered around reliable springs and creek beds. Topographic landmarks like Brooks Draw, West Draw, and East Draw provide natural navigation points across the terrain, while Rifes Rim overlooks the southern portion of the sheet near Bitter Creek Rd. This 2012 survey documents a network of remote access routes, including Moses Ranch Rd and Erickson-Kent Ranch Rd, that connect these isolated homesteads and grazing lands to the larger county infrastructure.
