2017 Map of Red Lake SW

About this map

Red Desert Basin dominates this landscape in Sweetwater County, where the high desert floor is carved by ephemeral drainage systems. The northern portion of the sheet is defined by the winding course of Black Rock Cr, which is fed by rugged terrain features like Twelvemile Gulch. While the area remains largely uninhabited, a network of utility and local access routes, including Co Rd 21 and Co Rd 20, navigate the depressions and draws. The presence of Dugout Draw suggests the historical reliance on seasonal water runoff and natural catchment in this arid environment. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring, open character of Wyoming's interior basins, providing a detailed look at the township and range boundaries that still define land management in the region today.
