2021 Map of Scott Spring

About this map

Scott Canyon carves through this arid portion of Sweetwater County, defining the drainage patterns in a landscape marked by dramatic elevation changes. The land is largely defined by the Public Land Survey System grid, which is clearly delineated by township and range boundaries including t20n r107w and t19n r106w. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a territory where human presence is sparse, limited primarily to a few established transit routes like Co RD 14 and Co RD 53. The namesake Scott Spring serves as a critical water source in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the importance of natural springs for both livestock and wildlife in this high-desert environment.
