1963 Map of Erickson-Kent Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

East Salt Wells Creek carves a central path through this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, defining the primary drainage for the surrounding basins. The Erickson-Kent Ranch stands as the principal named habitation, located near the confluence of several seasonal washes including East Draw. This 1963 survey (with 1970s revisions) illustrates a landscape dominated by topographic relief and water management in an arid environment, where features like Brooks Well and various windmills were critical for livestock and land use. The southern portion of the map is dramatically defined by the rising escarpment of Rifes Rim, which towers over the drainage system. The complex network of seasonal watercourses, including West Draw and Brooks Draw, highlights the erosional patterns and the isolation of the high plateau country during this era.
