1969 Map of Big Sandy Reservoir SE

About this map

The Emigrant Trail traverses the high plains along the border of Sublette and Sweetwater counties, preserving the historical path of westward migration through Wyoming. This high-altitude desert landscape is defined by the winding course of Little Sandy Creek, which feeds into reservoirs such as Little Sandy Res No 2 and Little Sandy Res No 3. These water management features, along with the Chambers Ditch, illustrate the vital role of irrigation and water control in sustaining ranching and habitation in this arid environment.
