1987 Map of Wilkins Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Wilkins Peak dominates the northern skyline of this Sweetwater County landscape, which is defined by a complex network of dry washes and deep-cut drainages. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of Flattop Mountain in the south toward the drainage basins of Little Bitter Creek and Cedar Creek to the east. Several distinctive canyons, including Slippery Jim Canyon, Little Firehole Canyon, and Middle Firehole Canyon, illustrate the erosional patterns characteristic of the high desert plateau. A network of unimproved roads and pipelines suggests the area's mid-to-late 20th-century utility for resource extraction and land management, while the absence of permanent settlements emphasizes its character as an open, working landscape of the American West.
