2015 Map of J O Dugway

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-desert portion of Sweetwater County, shaping a landscape defined by significant topographic shifts and remote ranching access. Central to the area is the J O Dugway, a critical passage through the steep elevation change of the Delaney Rim. This landform serves as a dramatic natural barrier, with the lower elevations to the south containing water sources like Delaney Spring and J O Spring. The presence of the Red Wash drainage and various Bureau of Land Management routes, such as BLM 4410, illustrates the infrastructure required to navigate this portion of the Red Desert. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from the high plateau down into the basin, where old access roads like Tipton Station Rd connect the isolated interior to distant rail corridors.
