About this map

Farson and the northern reaches of Eden Valley occupy this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, defined by its critical water sources and historic passage. The Big Sandy River and Little Sandy Cr converge here, feeding into the Big Sandy Reservoir and Eden Reservoir which anchor the local irrigation network.

Tracing the northern portion of the map, the California-Oregon Trl reveals the enduring footprint of nineteenth-century migration across the sagebrush plains. The terrain is marked by distinct landmarks like Haystack Butte and the broad expanse of Sublettes Flat. Local history is embedded in the rural road grid, including Old Luman Rd and the numbered routes like Farson 1st East Rd that serve the settlement of Farson.
