About this map

Cooper Ridge dominates the central landscape of this Sweetwater County quadrant, serving as a high-altitude divide in a network of seasonal drainages. The topography is defined by significant erosion patterns, including Erickson Canyon and Dry Canyon, which channel runoff toward Salt Wells Cr. This primary waterway is joined by several tributaries with descriptive names such as Pretty Water Cr and Dans Cr, illustrating the vital role of water management in this arid ranching environment.

The Mud Springs Ranch serves as the focal point of human activity, situated near Big Flat Draw. The infrastructure here is sparse, consisting largely of unpaved county routes like Co Road 32 and S Baxter Rd that facilitate movement between remote sections. This 2015 survey reflects the enduring character of Wyoming's high desert cattle country, where the placement of cattle tanks and the naming of small creeks like Gap Cr define the local geography.
