2017 Map of Powder Mountain

About this map

Powder Rim defines the central topography of this Sweetwater County landscape, where the high desert terrain of the Wyoming-Colorado border is etched with seasonal water catchments and historic paths. The presence of the Cherokee Trail Rd and the Shell Creek Stock Trl highlights a region long shaped by movement, from early Western migration to later ranching activities. Water management is a primary feature of this arid environment, evidenced by a network of small impoundments including North Reservoir, Knob Reservoir, and Arrowhead Reservoir.
