About this map

Salt Wells Cr and Black Butte Cr define the drainage patterns of this high desert landscape in southern Wyoming. The area is characterized by sparse development and a network of ephemeral watercourses that carve through the arid basin. Salt Wells Rd serves as the primary corridor for movement through this remote territory, providing access to the open range and reflecting the limited but essential infrastructure required for managing public lands and natural resources in Sweetwater County. The map captures the subtle topography of the region, where wide valleys and low ridges dictate the path of travel and seasonal water flow, long before more intensive industrial or residential development reached this corner of the state.
