About this map

Kinney Spring sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, marking a vital water source in an arid region defined by seasonal drainages and high plateaus. The terrain is characterized by the prominent Adobe Town Rim, a significant geological escarpment that dominates the eastern portion of the survey. Below this rim, a network of ephemeral waterways including Shell Cr, Iron Pipe Draw, and Eagle Nest Draw carve through the basin, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped the local topography.

Transportation through this isolated corner of Wyoming is facilitated by a network of Bureau of Land Management routes, such as Bitter Creek Rd and Gap Rd. These roads often follow the natural contours of the land, connecting remote points across the township boundaries of T16N and T15N. The map provides a precise look at the intersection of natural hydrology and public land management in the years following the millennium.
