2012 Map of Red Desert SE

About this map

Wells Bluff rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape of Sweetwater County, shaping the drainage patterns that feed into the ephemeral basins of the Red Lakes to the east. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a sparsely populated interior region where transportation is defined by long-distance routes like Delaney Rim Rd and Barrel Springs Rd. The map reveals the intricate network of seasonal watercourses and topographic contours characteristic of the Red Desert, offering a clear view of the land before further infrastructure development. Local navigation in this area relies heavily on designated paths such as Co Rd 3323, which provides access through the arid terrain between the rim and the lakes.
