2015 Map of Massacre Hill

About this map

Ashley National Forest extends into the southeastern corner of this Sweetwater County landscape, dominated by the prominent elevation of Massacre Hill. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, most notably the meandering course of Blacks Fork, which cuts across the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle. This 2015 survey illustrates a sparsely settled region of the high desert, where water access is dictated by seasonal flows like Little Dry Cr and Big Dry Creek. The intricate contour lines reveal the complex topography of erosion-carved features such as Chicken Draw. Established section lines and township boundaries, including t17n r109w, provide a rigid grid over the undulating natural landforms of the Wyoming basin.
