2014 Map of Sheep Creek Range NW

About this map

Rock Cr and its tributaries carve a path through the high desert of Lander County, defining the drainage patterns of this Great Basin landscape. The terrain rises sharply to the east toward the peaks of the Sheep Creek Range, where Black Mtn stands as a prominent landmark. This 2014 survey captures the area's transition from the relatively flat valley floors, crossed by Antelope Cr and Sixmile Cr, to the complex contouring of the upland slopes. Evidence of land management and access is primarily represented by Rock Creek Rd, which tracks through the northern sections, while the map's grid system documents the townships of t36n r46e, t36n r47e, t35n r46e, and t35n r47e. The map illustrates a landscape of high-elevation solitude, where water sources are the primary defining features for navigation and land use.
