2012 Map of Steamboat Mountain

About this map

Chilton Ranch and Johnson Ranch anchor the northern landscape of this Sweetwater County high-desert terrain, where water sources are vital landmarks for navigation and land use. The presence of multiple springs, including Split Rock Spring, Pine Spring, and Iron Spring, indicates a reliance on scattered water points for ranching operations. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Steamboat Mountain and the western descent through Sand Gap. Further south, the landscape is punctuated by Endlich Hill and Hague Hill, while Carson Lakes and the Brown Rock Reservoir represent the primary standing water features in this arid region. These features, along with routes like Freighter Gap Rd and Chilton Rd, trace the movement of livestock and supplies across a territory shaped by Bureau of Land Management oversight.
