2012 Map of Baxter

About this map

Baxter and the South Baxter Basin define this section of the High Plains, where the infrastructure of Sweetwater County meets the arid landscape of southwestern Wyoming. The settlement of Baxter serves as a small anchor point along the Interstate corridor, which is supported by an extensive network of local access routes including N Baxter Rd and the Middle Baxter Cutoff Rd. The Rock Springs-Sweetwater County Airport occupies a prominent central position on the plateau, illustrating the area's role as a regional transportation hub. The drainage of Bitter Cr carves through the northern portion of the sheet, providing a primary hydrological feature in an otherwise dry basin. Local ranching and land management are evidenced by established tracks such as Sweeney Ranch Rd, which navigate the subtle changes in elevation throughout the basin floor.
