About this map

Sawtooth Mountain dominates the northwestern portion of this Uinta County landscape, part of a high-altitude drainage system that feeds several significant watercourses. The terrain is characterized by prominent geologic formations, including the distinct ridge known as The Hogback in the south and the sharp profile of The Pinnacle near the center of the quadrangle. These features guide the paths of local travel routes like Co RD 103 and Carter Creek Rd.

A complex network of seasonal and perennial streams, such as Alkali Cr and Carter Cr, dissect the high country between North Sheep Mountain and South Sheep Mountain. The drainage patterns, featuring the N Fork Pine Hollow Cr and branches of Salt Cr, illustrate the hydrography of the Wyoming basin. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides an essential record of the natural landmarks and remote road access within this portion of the state.
