2017 Map of Picket Lake

About this map

Saint Marys Peak and the surrounding high country of the Antelope Hills dominate this portion of the Red Desert, where the county line between Fremont and Sweetwater counties crosses a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and vital water sources. The map reveals a sophisticated network of ephemeral creeks and named springs, such as Saint Marys Spring, P B Spring, and Horse Track Spring, which have long been essential for livestock and wildlife in this arid region. The southern portion of the quadrangle features a collection of small basins including Picket Lake, Murray Lake, and McKay Lake. Human presence is marked primarily by transport routes like the Riverview Cutoff and Red Creek Rd, alongside several BLM access roads, illustrating the land's use for resource management and ranching.
