2012 Map of Red Canyon

About this map

Atlantic City Rd and the Fort Stambaugh-Atlantic City Rd traverse this high-elevation Wyoming landscape, tracing routes that historically connected mining outposts and military stations. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid terrain, evidenced by named sites like Jackson Spring, Bain Spring, and the Antelope Springs Reservoir. The drainage patterns are well-defined by numerous seasonal and permanent watercourses, including Cold Sulphur Cr and Soap Hole Draw, which flow through the varied topography of Wood Canyon. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Sweetwater River provides a primary hydrological feature. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the modern alignment of these historic roads and the distribution of water resources that have long dictated the movement of people and livestock through Fremont County.
