2017 Map of The Rock Slide

About this map

Fossil Butte National Monument occupies the southeastern corner of this Lincoln County survey, preserving a landscape defined by significant geological formations. The terrain is characterized by high ridges and complex drainage systems, notably Dempsey Ridge and Rock Creek Ridge, which divide the numerous canyons cutting through the plateau. Water sources like Emigrant Spring and named drainages such as Rock Creek and Little Beaver Creek have historically provided vital resources in this arid environment. The map shows the land management patterns typical of the Wyoming high country, with cattle-related names and mountain ranges like the Tunp Range dominating the northern edge. Local infrastructure is represented by routes such as the Cundick Ridge Road Scenic Drive and Farm Field Road, which follow the natural contours of the land to connect the various basins and points of interest like Rubey Point.
