2017 Map of Pittman Well

About this map

Green River-South Pass Stage Rd tracks through the high arid landscape of Sweetwater County, tracing a historic transportation corridor that long predates modern infrastructure. This 2017 study illustrates how the Big Sandy River and its seasonal drainages, such as Starvation Wash and Eightmile Wash, continue to define the movement of water and travel through the basin. The name Stagecoach Draw and the presence of Pittman Well emphasize the critical importance of reliable water sources and established waypoints for travelers in this open territory. To the west, the Mormon Knolls and the Badlands Hills provide distinct topographical landmarks amidst the network of primitive routes like Blue Rim Rd, revealing a landscape where modern boundaries still respect the traditional paths of the high desert.
