2015 Map of Eden Reservoir West

About this map

California-Oregon Trl traces a historic path across the high desert of Sweetwater County, providing a clear window into the overland migration routes that once defined the American West. The landscape is dominated by the wide corridor of the Big Sandy River and its nearby impoundment at Big Sandy Reservoir to the north, while the smaller Eden Reservoir sits to the east. This 2015 survey details the modern ranching and irrigation infrastructure that sustains Eden Valley, characterized by a grid of rural routes such as Farson 1st Rd E and Farson 2nd Rd N. Prominent geological landmarks like Haystack Butte and the broad expanse of Sublettes Flat offer orientation points in a terrain shaped by the confluence of Little Sandy Cr and Pacific Cr.
