2015 Map of Rawlins

About this map

Rawlins serves as a critical high-desert hub along the Union Pacific corridor, defined by its grid of residential streets and industrial outskirts. In the mid-2010s, the community's layout shows significant northern expansion with residential developments like Aberdeen Blvd and Inverness Blvd situated near the Rawlins Municipal Airport/Harvey Field. To the east, the town of Sinclair stands as a distinct industrial center, linked to the county seat by major transit routes and the winding path of Sugar Cr. The surrounding landscape is dominated by ridges and drainage systems, including Coal Mine Ridge and Hay Gulch, illustrating the transition from the city's urban core to the open sagebrush steppe. Hikers passing through this section of Carbon County encounter the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, which skirts the western edge of the city before heading into the high country.
