2021 Map of Red Desert

About this map

The Continental Divide traverses this high-altitude landscape in Sweetwater County, marking the hydrological crest of the Rockies. The small settlement of Red Desert sits along the southern edge of this map, positioned near the transport corridor that includes I-80 SVC RD and Rasmussen Rd. The region is defined by its arid drainage patterns and water management history, evidenced by the presence of Threemile Ditch and Fivemile Ditch in the northern townships. In the southeast, the terrain rises toward Wamsutter Rim and Big Hill, overlooking Latham Draw. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparse ranching and resource-heavy landscape where infrastructure like Frewen Rd provides access to remote interior areas such as Frewen Lake. The map provides a precise look at the township and range grid system essential for property research in this section of the Wyoming desert.
