About this map

Ox Yoke Springs and Indian Spring anchor this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, as it was recorded during the mid-1980s. The terrain is defined by an expansive system of Sand Dunes that shift across the high plains, interrupted only by the seasonal drainage of Morrow Creek in the northeastern corner. This area represents a characteristic Western corridor of public land management, where natural water sources were the primary landmarks for navigation and survival in an otherwise arid environment. Evidence of human infrastructure is minimal, consisting primarily of rough 4wd tracks and a major Trans Line cutting through the southeastern corner, reflecting the region's role as a transit zone for energy and utilities rather than a site for permanent settlement. This survey captures the remote character of the Red Desert region before the widespread expansion of modern resource extraction.
