2021 Map of Bitter Creek

About this map

Bitter Creek serves as the focal point for this expansive stretch of the Wyoming high desert within the Great Divide Basin. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Bitter Cr and the broad valley of Patrick Draw, where the intermittent flow of water has shaped the terrain over millennia. The area is characterized by a network of local transport routes, including Bitter Creek Rd and Patrick Draw Rd, which reflect the region's historical and ongoing importance for land management and resource access. Surveyed with precision, the map illustrates the systematic township and range organization typical of the American West, featuring boundaries like t18n r99w and t19n r99w. This particular sheet captures the quiet, utilitarian nature of the Sweetwater County backcountry, where modern county roads like Co Hwy 24 follow the natural contours of the drainages.
