2021 Map of Austin Ranch

About this map

Austin Ranch serves as a primary point of human settlement in this arid reach of Sweetwater County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of intermittent watercourses and deep-cut terrain. The Green River flows through the southwestern corner, providing a vital water source for the surrounding high-desert environment. The topography is marked by significant drainages such as Twentyfive Draw, Manns Draw, and Chris Wash, which funnel seasonal runoff toward the river. Transportation in this part of the Wyoming backcountry relies on routes like Old Stauffer Rd and county roads that navigate the complex system of ridges and flats. Broad geological features like Manns Flat and Scott Canyon illustrate the erosive power of the elements over time, while the various township and range boundaries underscore the systematic grid of public land management in the American West.
