2012 Map of Jawbone Ranch

About this map

Jawbone Ranch serves as a primary reference point in this high-desert portion of Sweetwater County, where the landscape is defined by a sparse network of ranching roads and intermittent drainages. The terrain is punctuated by Windy Hill, a prominent topographic feature that overlooks the surrounding flats. Transportation through this remote section of Wyoming is facilitated by routes like Riner Cutoff Rd, which reflects the functional nature of the local infrastructure. The 2012 survey illustrates a classic Western ranching environment, characterized by isolated holdings and the vast, open spaces of the high plains, providing a clear record of the spatial relationships between remote homesteads and the natural landmarks that guide navigation through the territory.
