2012 Map of Pittman Well

About this map

The Green River-South Pass Stage Rd cuts through this high desert landscape, tracing a historic transportation corridor across the Wyoming basin. This route, alongside the winding course of the Big Sandy River, defines the topography of a region marked by dry drainages and intermittent watercourses. Several named geographical features characterize the arid terrain, including Starvation Wash, Stagecoach Draw, and Jensen Wash, which channel seasonal runoff toward the river valley. The map documents a sparse network of modern and historical routes, where the long diagonal of the stage road intersects with contemporary paths like Blue Rim Rd. The presence of these named draws and roads underscores the area's history as a transit point for early western travel, where access to water and navigable passes through the basin were critical for survival and commerce.
