2012 Map of Scott Spring

About this map

Scott Spring is the focal point of this arid landscape in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages that navigate the undulating topography of the high desert. Human impact on the land is sparse, primarily represented by 14 Mile Rd which traverses the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the water sources and access routes essential for navigating this open range. The lack of named settlements reflects the enduring character of this region as a place for grazing and natural resource management rather than permanent habitation.
