2012 Map of Whiskey Peak

About this map

The Diamond Hook Ranch and other scattered homesteads define the high-country landscape of Sweetwater County in the early 21st century. This region is characterized by a complex drainage network where Big Camp Cr and Little Camp Cr carve through the terrain south of Green Mountain. The map provides a detailed look at the rural land use patterns of the era, marking historic family sites such as the Tilly Homestead near the Red Hills and the Joe Wimmer Homestead along the banks of Corral Cr. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by features like Grieves Reservoir, which sits at the northern edge of the survey area. From the elevation of Camp Creek Hill to the various ephemeral flows of Coal Cr and Reed Cr, the map documents a resilient ranching and homesteading geography.
