About this map

Erickson-Kent Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, where the topography is defined by the seasonal drainage systems of E Salt Wells Cr. The area is characterized by an intricate network of intermittent watercourses including Scheggs Draw, Brooks Draw, West Draw, and East Draw. These features, combined with the prominent elevation of Rifes Rim to the south, illustrate the challenging environment of the Wyoming basin as it was managed and navigated in the early 21st century.

A sparse network of roads provides the primary infrastructure for this ranching region. Routes such as Moses Ranch Rd, Rife Ranch Rd, and Bitter Creek Rd connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands across several townships, including t14n r101w and t15n r102w. The survey details a landscape where water and elevation dictate the utility of the land, preserving the names of the families and ranching operations that have long occupied this corner of the state.
