2012 Map of Radium Springs

About this map

The Oregon Trl cuts across this high desert landscape, marking the enduring path of westward migration through Fremont County. The map details a transition from historical transit to modern ranching and resource management, anchored by the Sweetwater River in the south and the small settlement of Lewiston. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by features such as Harris Ditch and Harris Slough, which support the arid grasslands. To the north, the Rate Homestead and Crows Nest suggest the dispersed nature of human habitation in this terrain. The eastern portion of the sheet is defined by the Antelope Hills and the namesake Radium Springs, while numerous drainages like Giblin Gulch and Wilson Gulch carve the upland plateau between the river and the northern ranch roads.
