2021 Map of Wilkinson Creek

About this map

Hams Fork winds through the heart of this high-elevation landscape in Lincoln County, feeding into the northern reaches of Lake Viva Naughton. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of early water management, including the Johnson Spencer Ditch, E Stock Ditch, and Smith Ditch Number 1, which reflect the region's historical reliance on irrigation for ranching and livestock. Topographical landmarks such as Pink Hill and the broad Dempsey Basin dominate the central and western portions of the quadrangle, where the headwaters of N Fork Dempsey Cr and S Fork Dempsey Cr converge. This area, accessed by routes like Hams Fork Rd and Corral Creek Rd, shows a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and human engineering, with numerous smaller tributaries like Wilkinson Cr and Taylor Cr etching deep into the gulches and flats of the Wyoming range.
