2015 Map of Lost Creek Reservoir

About this map

Stinking Springs Reservoir and Lost Cr Reservoir sit within a high-altitude drainage basin along the border of Fremont and Sweetwater counties. The landscape is defined by its arid hydrology, where intermittent water sources like Tierney Spring and Chicken Springs provide rare relief from the high-desert environment. Strategic transport routes like the Riverview Cutoff and Bison Basin Rd navigate through the township lines of the public land survey system, specifically crossing T27N and T28N. This 2015 survey illustrates how modern ranching or resource management infrastructure utilizes natural depressions and drainages, such as Stinking Springs Draw and Lost Cr, to manage water in a region where every creek, including E Alkali Cr and Arapahoe Cr, is critical to the local geography.
