2021 Map of Red Canyon

About this map

Red Canyon and the high desert terrain of southern Fremont County dominate this 2021 study, where seasonal drainage systems and natural springs define the land's utility. The modern transition of historic paths is evident through the route of the Atlantic City Rd and the Hudson-Atlantic City Rd, which cross the high plateau toward the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Water remains the most critical resource in this arid landscape, anchored by the Sweetwater River at the southeastern corner and small upland developments like the Antelope Springs Reservoir and Jackson Reservoir. Along the dramatic escarpment of Beaver Rim, numerous named draws such as Reno Draw and Soap Hole Draw reveal the complex erosion patterns of the region. These features, along with localized water sources like Jackson Spring and Bain Spring, highlight the essential sites where grazing and transit would have clustered in this high-altitude environment.
