2017 Map of Atlantic City

About this map

Atlantic City serves as the focal point for this high-country survey in Fremont County, where historical transit routes converge in the Wyoming wilderness. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sweetwater River and an intricate network of irrigation systems such as the Beaver Dam Ditch and Burnt Ranch Ditch. This area is a significant corridor for both historical and modern travel, featuring the preserved path of the Oregon Trl alongside the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. Traces of the region's mining and frontier past are evident in the vivid local nomenclature, from Beer Garden Gulch and Slaughterhouse Gulch near the settlement to the Point of Rocks South Pass Stag Rd that cuts across the southern flats. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses like Rock Cr and Willow Cr, creating a complex series of gulches and ridges that dictated the movement of early pioneers and later homesteaders.
