1961 Map of Picket Lake

About this map

Antelope Hills and the high desert terrain of the High Plains dominate this 1961 survey, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and sheep or cattle ranching infrastructure. The county line between Fremont Co and Sweetwater Co cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, where low-lying basins hold Picket Lake and Mc Kay Lake. The prominence of St Marys Peak and the long expanse of Horse Track Ridge guide the drainage of the complex Sulphur Creek system, including its North, Middle, and South forks.
