2012 Map of Lost Creek Butte SW

About this map

Rasmussen Sheep Camp serves as a lone human landmark in this high-desert stretch of Sweetwater County. The map reveals the essential desert infrastructure of the early twenty-first century, dominated by a web of service roads and tracks across the sagebrush-covered plains. The terrain is defined by drainage patterns like Red Wash Draw, which illustrates the intermittent water flow characteristic of the Great Divide Basin. Aside from the sheep camp, the landscape is primarily navigated via Red Desert Rd, showing a region dedicated to livestock grazing and resource access rather than permanent urban settlement. The sparse placement of these features emphasizes the isolation and specialized land use of this Wyoming interior during this era.
