About this map

Four J Rim and the surrounding high-desert plateau of Sweetwater County define this corner of southwestern Wyoming as it appeared in 2017. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage systems and intermittent water sources, where Salt Wells Cr and N Fork Vermillion Cr carve through the arid terrain. Isolated water points like Goat Spring, Bell Spring, and Horseshoe Spring emphasize the vital importance of reliable water in this livestock-grazing and resource-extraction region.

The presence of Pine Lake and the elevated prominence of Pine Mtn provide significant local landmarks amidst the complex topography of Scrivner Canyon and Horseshoe Basin. Public access is maintained via a system of Bureau of Land Management routes, including BLM RD 4413 and BLM RD 4405, which navigate the shifts in elevation between the lower gulches like Birdie Gulch and the expansive Four J Basin.
