2021 Map of Little America

About this map

Little America serves as a modern waypoint in the high desert of Sweetwater County, defined by the convergence of major transit corridors and the drainage patterns of the Great Divide Basin. The landscape is marked by the seasonal flow of Spider Cr and Meadow Springs Wash, which cut through the sagebrush-covered plains toward the Blacks Fork river. This area reflects the mid-twentieth-century evolution of the American West, where isolated roadside settlements grew to support transcontinental travel. Industrial and rural access is maintained through a network of local roads including Westraco Rd and Fmc Rd, which serve the mineral-rich trona patches nearby. The survey provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System grid across T19N and T18N, illustrating how township and range boundaries structure this portion of the Wyoming plateau.
