2023 Map of Sheeppen Creek

About this map

South Eden Reservoir and its surrounding drainage systems define this high-altitude landscape in Rich County. The area is marked by a complex network of canyons and seasonal water sources, including the many-branched South Fork South Eden Canyon and the high peaks of Black Mtn. Agriculture in this arid environment is represented by the Peterson Dry Farms, while local water management is evident in the Lower North Eden Reservoir and Upper North Eden Reservoir to the north. Numerous water sources such as Sheeppen Spring, Shirley Spring, and Rabbit Spring provided essential stopovers for travelers and livestock moving through the drainage of Sheeppen Creek and Rabbit Creek. The terrain's rugged nature is further mapped through features like North Eden Canyon and North Fork Sixmile Creek.
