About this map

Pine Creek Wash dominates the high desert landscape of this Sweetwater County region, where a network of seasonal drainages carves through the terrain. The map traces the hydrological patterns of Dry Sand Cr, Antelope Cr, and Sand Cr as they move across the northern sections, while Shell Cr and Kinney Cr define the southern reaches. This arid environment is marked by the presence of Dry Reservoir, indicating the vital role of water management in this high-altitude cattle and sheep country.

Transportation through these remote basins is facilitated by established routes like Bitter Creek Rd and Rim Road 4408. These corridors follow the natural topography, connecting sparse points of interest across the township lines of T15N and T16N. The absence of permanent settlements emphasizes the character of this landscape as open range, where topographic features like Car Cr serve as primary landmarks for navigation and land management.
