About this map

Luman Rim and the surrounding high desert of Sweetwater County define this corner of the Wyoming landscape. The terrain is characterized by distinct geological formations, including the prominent Buffalo Hump and its adjacent Buffalo Hump Basin. These landforms provide a clear look at the drainage patterns of the region, where ephemeral watercourses like Bush Cr and Bear Cr cut through the arid plains.

Evidence of human movement across this vast territory is found along the established routes of Tipton-North Rd and Co Rd 4-20. The map reveals a remote area primarily shaped by its natural topography, from the sharp descent of the rim to the isolated rise of Luman Butte and the winding path of Cronin Draw. This survey captures the intersection of early 21st-century infrastructure with the enduring landforms of the Red Desert region.
