2021 Map of Lion Bluffs

About this map

High-altitude desert and prominent escarpments define this section of Sweetwater County, where the massive Lion Bluffs rise above the drainage of Sulphur Cr. The landscape is shaped by deep draws and intermittent streams, including No Name Cr and Burnt Canyon Cr, which flow toward the South Baxter Basin. Human presence is sparse and largely focused on ranching and public access, with Sweeney Ranch situated in the northeast and Dorrence Recreation Park offering a focal point for activity along Sweetwater Co Rd 39. Notable landmarks like Chimney Rock and the flat-topped Table provide essential navigation points across the uneven terrain, while Quaking Asp Mtn stands as a significant topographical feature to the west. This mapping shows a persistent pattern of rural land use, where remote corridors like Sweeney Ranch Rd connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands within the vast basins.
