2012 Map of North Table Mountain

About this map

Houghton Ranch and Cookston Ranch represent the cattle ranching infrastructure of this Sweetwater County landscape in the early 21st century. The map highlights a high-desert environment defined by the prominent formations of North Table Mountain and South Table Mountain, which rise above the surrounding drainages. Seasonal water sources like Nitch Cr and Cut Cr weave through the terrain, while Johnson Gap provides a natural passage through the high ground to the northeast. Transportation across this remote ranchland is facilitated by Chilton Rd, illustrating the intersection of natural topography and the human footprint of the American West.
