About this map

Cyclone Rim dominates the central topography of this Sweetwater County landscape, marking a significant geological break in the high desert terrain. The area is defined by its isolation and the network of Bureau of Land Management routes, such as Blm-3216 and Blm-3214, which provide the primary access through these townships. The drainage of Red Cr cuts across the southwestern corner, offering a rare hydrological feature in an otherwise arid expanse. This survey captures the region during a period of modern land management, where the grid of the Public Land Survey System—including portions of t26n r97w and t26n r96w—dictates the organization of this open country. The map is a valuable resource for understanding the remote infrastructure and natural landmarks utilized by ranchers and resource managers in the twenty-first century.
