2012 Map of Four Corners

About this map

Sweetwater Mountain and the high plateaus of Northwestern Table anchor this portion of Weston County, where the high plains break into a network of canyons and drainages. The landscape is defined by its water-carved features, including the winding Horsethief Canyon to the west and the broad expanse of Canyon Springs Prairie to the east. A sparse network of local roads and trails, such as Skull Creek Rd and Elk Grove Trl, provides access to these elevations. These routes follow the natural contours of the land, navigating around prominent landmarks like Red Butte and crossing ephemeral watercourses like Sweetwater Cr and Salt Cr. The layout reflects the transition between the rolling prairie and the more complex topography of the Black Hills foothills.
