2012 Map of Wilkinson Creek

About this map

Hams Fork meanders through this portion of Lincoln County, defining a landscape of complex water management and high-altitude basins. The map illustrates a network of engineered irrigation, including the Johnson Spencer Ditch, East Stock Ditch, and Smith Ditch Number 1, which divert water from the natural creek beds to support the region's ranching interests. Toward the southern boundary, the waters of Lake Viva Naughton collect near the base of Pink Hill, serving as a primary reservoir for the area. The terrain transitions into the broader Dempsey Basin to the west, where the N Fork Dempsey Cr and S Fork Dempsey Cr converge. This survey documents the intersection of natural drainage systems like Beaver Cr and Spring Gulch with the local road infrastructure of Corral Creek Rd.
