2012 Map of Point of Rocks

About this map

Point of Rocks serves as the primary settlement hub in this part of Sweetwater County, situated along the vital transportation corridor defined by Interstate 80 and the historic Overland Trl. The landscape is dominated by the meandering path of Bitter Cr, which cuts through the high desert terrain alongside features like Coon Draw and Shiprock. To the north, the Jim Bridger Reservoir provides a significant water source in an otherwise arid environment, accessed by 9 Mile Rd. The map illustrates the juxtaposition of modern infrastructure and traditional routes, tracing how the I80 Service Rd follows the same general path as the older pioneer trails. Notable drainage patterns such as Deadman Wash and local thoroughfares like Black Buttes Rd provide detail for those studying the regional geography and historical transit lines in southern Wyoming.
