2017 Map of Split Rock NW

About this map

Sweetwater Rocks and the Green Mountains define this high-desert landscape in Fremont County, where the terrain shifts from the prominent granite outcrops of the north to the rising slopes of the south. The drainage network is characterized by the branching of Cottonwood Creek, including its east, west, and middle forks, which carve through the land towards the Owl Hills. A notable point of human alteration is the McIntosh-Beaton Ditch in the northeast, alongside the distinctive Dam Rock landmark. Primitive routes like Agate Flat Rd and Green Mountain Rd provide the only access through these expansive townships, illustrating the sparse settlement and focus on grazing and watershed management in this part of Wyoming. Local relief is most pronounced at Rocky Canyon, offering a detailed view of the area’s complex natural hydrology.
