1963 Map of Erickson-Kent Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Erickson-Kent Ranch serves as a primary human landmark in this high-desert landscape of south-central Wyoming, documented during a 1963 field check. The terrain is defined by the prominent Rifes Rim, which cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, creating a distinct geological break in the high plateau. Drainage patterns are vital to understanding the geography here, with East Salt Wells Creek winding northward through the center of the sheet. This seasonal water system is fed by numerous ephemeral channels, including Brooks Draw, Scheggs Draw, and West Draw. The map reflects an era of resource exploration and cattle ranching, where isolated outposts like the ranch and various Drill Holes represent the sparse but significant human footprint on the Sweetwater County range.
