About this map

Henrys Fork winds through this high-country landscape, anchoring a network of remote ranching and irrigation systems. The area's agricultural history is etched into the terrain through the winding Interstate Canal and numerous water management features like Phil Mass Reservoir, Shelton Lake, and Antler Reservoir. These water sources support the small settlements of Rendezvous and McKinnon, which serve as quiet hubs in this expansive corner of Sweetwater County.

Local genealogy and family history are preserved at the Burntfork Cem and McKinnon Cem, situated along the rural road network including McKinnon Rd and Old Hwy 414. The landscape is defined by its drainages and depressions, with named features like Coon Hollow, Welch Hollow, and Hisey Hollow breaking the terrain. The presence of Rim Rd and various local lanes like Wilde Ln and Rocking Chair Ln trace the paths used by residents in this sparsely populated high-desert environment.
