2012 Map of The Rock Slide

About this map

Emigrant Spring serves as a notable landmark in this corner of Lincoln County, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by the significant topographic disturbance of The Rock Slide. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges and deep drainages, including Dempsey Ridge and Rock Creek Ridge. A network of canyons, such as Watercress Canyon, Cook Canyon, and Morgan Canyon, carve through the western slopes, feeding into the primary waterway of Rock Cr. Transportation across this remote area is limited to a few established routes like Chicken Creek Rd and Cord-209, which navigate the elevation changes near Rubey Point. The abundance of named springs and seasonal creeks like Little Beaver Cr and Wyman Cr illustrates the crucial role of water sources in this arid Wyoming high country.
