2012 Map of Big Sandy Reservoir SE

About this map

Little Sandy Cr defines the drainage patterns of this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County. The map provides a detailed view of early 21st-century rural infrastructure, notably the Sublette Cutoff, a name that recalls the region’s deep history as a corridor for westward migration and overland travel. This survey documents the network of remote thoroughfares like Big Sandy Elkhorn Rd and Farson Little Sandy Rd, which serve the expansive ranching and energy lands of south-central Wyoming. The sparse distribution of named features underscores the open, arid nature of the terrain northeast of Farson, where water sources and established trail routes have historically dictated human movement and settlement.
