2012 Map of Firehole Basin

About this map

Firehole Basin dominates this portion of Sweetwater County, where the high desert landscape is defined by drainage systems and ranching corridors. The area is anchored by the Sage Creek Ranch, located along the southern drainage of Sage Cr. This watercourse, along with Spring Cr, dictates the placement of local infrastructure, including Sage Creek Rd and Ramsey Ranch Rd. The terrain is characterized by significant natural depressions and heights, from the western Johnson Draw and Faulkner Draw to the prominent rising profile of Sheep Mountain at the southern edge. Accessibility to this arid region is provided by the network of Flaming Gorge Rd and Little Firehole Rd, reflecting the long-standing routes used by local landowners and travelers through this Wyoming interior.
