2012 Map of Black Rock Flat West

About this map

Alkali Basin dominates the high desert landscape of this Sweetwater County quadrant, reflecting the arid character of southwestern Wyoming. The drainage of Black Rock Cr and Greasewood Wash provides a look at the natural hydrology that has shaped cattle ranching and transportation routes in the region. Local infrastructure is defined by sparse thoroughfares such as 9 Mile Rd and Bitter Creek Rd, which provide access through the open territory. These routes serve as essential links for modern land management and resource exploration while following the traditional paths established by early travelers across the high plains. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where high-altitude depressions like the basin meet the seasonal watercourses characteristic of the region's geography.
