2012 Map of Monument Ridge

About this map

Monument Ridge stands as a central landform in this high-desert portion of Sweetwater County, where the topography is defined by a series of significant drainages and dry canyons. The landscape is carved by the winding paths of Jack Morrow Cr, Rock Cabin Cr, and Jack Parnell Cr, which illustrate the complex watershed patterns of this arid region. Near the southern edge of the survey, Freighter Gap provides a notable passage through the terrain, historically significant for transport through the area. Human presence is marked by primitive routes such as Freighter Gap Rd and BLM Road 4102, which link isolated landmarks like Minnie Spring. The map documents numerous geological features, including LaFonte Canyon, Johnson Canyon, and Blind Canyon, providing a detailed look at the erosional character of the Wyoming basin at the start of the 2010s.
