2021 Map of Gasson Bridge

About this map

Emigrant Trl cuts across this high desert landscape, tracing a historical path through the arid terrain of Sweetwater County. The Big Sandy River serves as the primary hydrological artery, winding through a network of dry coulees and plateaus, eventually crossing under the Gasson Bridge. This region is defined by its stark geological formations, most notably the Mormon Knolls and the eroded slopes of the Badlands Hills to the south. The sparse road network, including the Lower Farson Cutoff Rd and Blue Rim Rd, highlights the remote nature of these ranching and rangeland tracts. For those tracing the legacy of Western migration or geological surveys, the map provides a clear look at how historical trails like Emigrant Trl navigate the complex drainage systems of Eightmile Wash.
