2017 Map of Lankin Dome

About this map

The Granite Mountains dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where prominent summits like McIntosh Peak and Bills Peak rise above the high desert floor. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a remote corridor along the border of Fremont and Natrona counties, defined by the geological formation of Lankin Dome. Long-established transit routes, including the Waltman Sweetwater Freight Rd and Agate Flat Rd, cross the basin, tracing the same paths utilized by earlier travelers and freighters in central Wyoming. The drainage of Sage Hen Creek and Lankin Cr weave through the sagebrush flats, while distinctive natural hollows such as Nolen Pocket and Miller Pocket provide points of reference for those navigating this isolated terrain.
