About this map

Saint Marys Peak and the surrounding Antelope Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in the Red Desert region. The terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral watercourses including Middle Fork Sulphur Cr and N Fork Sulphur Cr, which drain toward lower basins. This 2021 survey reveals a remote area where water management is critical, evidenced by several named water sources such as Saint Marys Spring, Buck Spring, and P-B Spring.

Transportation through this isolated section of the Great Divide Basin relies on the Riverview Cutoff and Red Creek Rd, providing access across the Fremont and Sweetwater county line. Low-lying depressions form distinctive bodies like Picket Lake, Murray Lake, and McKay Lake, which serve as vital landmarks for modern land management and historical livestock grazing patterns in the Wyoming interior.
