2011 Map of Red Creek Ranch

About this map

Star Numbers Five and Six Mine sits near the head of Telephone Canyon, marking a landscape defined by ranching and mineral exploration at the Wyoming-Utah border. This 2011 survey illustrates a network of drainage systems and isolated outposts, where seasonal water sources like Alkali Springs and Lizzie Spring Creek support the high-desert terrain. Scattered settlements and operations such as Red Creek Ranch, Meadow Gulch Ranch, and Petes Place are connected by a sparse road system including Aspen Mountain Rd. The presence of the John Erickson Dam on the upper reaches of Red Creek indicates the critical importance of water management for the sustainability of these remote ranching hubs during the early 21st century.
