1989 Map of Luman Rim

About this map

The high desert landscape of Sweetwater County is defined here by the prominent Luman Rim and the volcanic-named Buffalo Hump. This 1989 provisional survey captures a remote region of Wyoming focused on resource extraction and livestock management, evidenced by the presence of a Gas Well, the Rasmussen Well, and various drill holes scattered across the terrain. Drainage patterns like Bush Creek and Bear Creek carve through the arid topography, leading toward the southern depression of Red Lake. The inclusion of a remote Landing Strip and a Pipeline underscores the logistical infrastructure required to operate in this isolated part of the Buffalo Hump Basin, while family or locally-named landmarks like Luman Butte and Cronin provide essential points of reference for those navigating this wide-open country.
