2015 Map of North Baxter

About this map

North Baxter Basin dominates this landscape in Sweetwater County, providing a clear view of the high desert topography of south-central Wyoming. The small settlement of North Baxter is situated along the corridor of N Baxter Rd, reflecting the sparse but enduring ranching and energy-related infrastructure of the region. The southern edge of the survey is defined by the drainage of Bitter Cr, where the Interstate 80 and rail corridor cut through the arid terrain, joined by the confluence of Salt Wells Cr. This map documents the intersection of modern transportation routes with the traditional geographic features of the Baxter Basin area, illustrating how the built environment adheres to the natural contours of the high plains.
