2021 Map of Potter Mountain

About this map

Potter Mtn stands as the central high ground in this arid Sweetwater County landscape, defined by a complex network of high-altitude drainages and springs. The map documents a sparsely populated but vital ranching and water-management system in the high desert, featuring remote water sources like Laney Spring, Jim Washum Spring, and Pio Spring. These points of water, along with the Potter Mountain Reservoir and Pio Reservoir, indicate the land's utility for livestock and wildlife despite the absence of formal towns.
