Red Desert Basin dominates this portion of the Wyoming high desert, showing a landscape defined by its interior drainage and wide-open topography. Located in Sweetwater County, this 2021 survey illustrates the sparse infrastructure characteristic of this region, where the primary human mark on the land is the network of county roads. Specifically, Co RD 20 and Co RD 67 provide the only significant transit corridors through the vast township and range system. This map captures the modern character of the Red Desert Basin, a place where the Public Land Survey System grid remains the primary organizational feature across sections of the high plains.
