2021 Map of Wilkins Peak

About this map

Wilkins Peak and Flattop Mtn dominate this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, where the terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems. The map traces the winding course of Little Bitter Cr and its associated features like the Sand Wash, alongside numerous geological depressions including Rock Canyon and Little Mellor Canyon. A sparse but functional network of routes, including Pipeline Rd, Little Firehole Rd, and Slippery Jim Canyon Rd, provides access through the complex topography of the high plains. The drainage patterns here, notably Little Firehole Canyon and Middle Firehole Canyon, illustrate the erosional forces that have shaped this portion of the Wyoming basins. This survey offers a clear view of the land as it remained in the early 21st century, largely defined by its natural landforms and the infrastructure required to traverse them.
