About this map

Bear River Divide and Sawtooth Mtn dominate this high-elevation landscape along the border of Lincoln and Uinta Counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including North Sheep Mtn, South Sheep Mtn, and the distinctive spine of The Hogback. This topography creates a complex drainage system where Cottonwood Creek and Alkali Creek flow through deep draws, while Salt Creek and its tributaries carve paths through the southern reaches of the quadrangle.

Evidence of human activity in this transition zone between the high plains and mountains is sparse but significant, marked by Whitney Field and the winding paths of Carter Creek Road and County Road 103. These routes follow the natural contours of the land, connecting the high ridges near The Pinnacle with the creek bottoms below. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range survey lines that divide this remote Wyoming landscape into its legal sections.
