2012 Map of Independence Rock

About this map

Independence Rock stands as a primary landmark in this section of Natrona County, marking a site deeply connected to the westward migration era along the Oregon Trail Rd. The landscape is dominated by the meandering Sweetwater River, which passes through the narrow Devils Gate and flows near Martins Cove. This terrain, characterized by high-desert features like Granite Mountain and the Sweetwater Rocks, reflects a ranching and conservation history centered on sites like Sun Ranch. The presence of the Schounmaker Ditch highlights the importance of water management in this arid region, where small seasonal flows such as Rush Cr and Pete Cr drain the surrounding basins like Savage Pocket.
