2012 Map of Sugarloaf Basin

About this map

Currant Creek Ranch occupies a central position within this drainage network, situated where the high desert terrain meets the seasonal flow of Currant Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape of intermittent water and arid landforms, characterized by the broad Sugarloaf Basin and the winding course of Upper Marsh Cr. The importance of water in this Sweetwater County environment is underscored by the presence of Washam Spring and the topographical depression of Washam Wash. Access to this high-country basin is facilitated primarily by Flaming Gorge Rd, which cuts through the western section of the map, and the secondary Co Rd 33. The map documents the persistent nature of ranching and remote land use in this part of Wyoming, where livestock and wildlife rely on these specific, named water sources and draws like Sugarloaf Marsh Cr.
