2017 Map of Rawlins

About this map

Rawlins sits at a critical junction of transportation and topography in southern Wyoming, where the high desert terrain is shaped by Sugar Creek and Coal Creek. This 2017 study illustrates the city's modern layout, including the prominent site of the Wyoming State Penitentiary and the sprawling facility of the Rawlins Municipal Airport/Harvey Field. For genealogists, the map identifies local landmarks such as the Rawlins Cemetery and the Carbon County Museum Cemetery. The industrial and residential character of the region is further defined by the neighboring town of Sinclair and the drainage patterns near Hay Gulch. The street network, including names like Bonanza Street and Edinburgh Street, reflects a community deeply tied to the high plains landscape and its rail-connected history.
