1986 Map of Monument Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Continental Divide serpentines through this high-altitude landscape of Sweetwater County, marking the drainage separation between the Atlantic and Pacific watersheds. This 1980s-era study captures a complex system of drainage and relief, where Monument Ridge stands as a central topographic spine. To the north, the headwaters of Rock Cabin Creek and Morrow Creek carve into the terrain, while the area near Parnell indicates a point of interest amidst the high-desert drainages. The map reveals the intricate network of erosional features common to this part of the Red Desert region, including the sheer walls of Box Canyon and the southern reaches of Bush Rim. Cattle trails and unimproved roads trace the paths used for ranching and resource management, providing a clear record of land use before modern intensive development.
