2018 Map of Bitter Creek

About this map

Bitter Creek serves as a central hub of this desert landscape, located where the local rail line and road networks converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Bitter Cr and the topographic variations of Patrick Draw, reflecting the arid environment of Sweetwater County. Transportation is a defining feature of the area's development, with Bitter Creek Rd, Patrick Draw Rd, and Co Hwy 24 providing the primary access through the high plains. The map illustrates a section of the American West where geography and infrastructure are closely tied to the watercourses and natural draws that once dictated early travel and settlement routes.
