2021 Map of Sheep Creek Range SW

About this map

The Sheep Creek Range dominates the central landscape of this Lander County map, exhibiting a complex network of high ridges and deep drainage systems that define this part of the Great Basin. To the northeast, Black Mtn stands as a prominent high point, overlooking the winding path of Rock Cr. The terrain transitions sharply in the southeastern corner, where the high country gives way to the broad, flatter expanse of Boulder Valley. This shift from mountain to valley is marked by the presence of numerous wetland features at the base of the range, likely fed by the runoff from the higher elevations. The sparsely populated area is navigated primarily by Rock Creek Rd, which traces the eastern boundary of the mountains. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, shown through a grid of townships including t34n r47e and t35n r47e.
