2012 Map of Mount Wagner

About this map

Mount Wagner dominates this corner of Lincoln County, where the high-altitude drainage systems of the Salt River and Smiths Fork define the mountain geography. The map reveals a landscape shaped by hydrology and elevation, from the heights of Sheep Pass down to the secluded basin of Poker Hollow. Water is the primary architect here, with Wagner Lake and Slide Lake caught in the high folds of the terrain, while numerous tributaries like Wagner Cr and Cottonwood Cr carve deep paths such as Slide Canyon. Human presence is minimal, marked primarily by the peripheral access provided by Cottonwood Creek Rd and Smiths Fork Rd, indicating a region valued for its natural resources and watershed rather than concentrated settlement. This survey provides a clear view of the complex stream networks including the N Fork Smiths Fork as they appeared in the early 21st century.
