About this map

Rock Springs serves as the focal point of this Sweetwater County survey, showcasing a landscape defined by industrial development and arid basin geography. The city's northern expansion is evident near Western Wyoming Community College, while the historic core and neighborhoods like Blairtown occupy the central valley. Transport corridors follow the natural topography established by Bitter Cr and Killpecker Cr, which cut through the high-desert terrain.

Beyond the urban center, the map reveals more isolated points of interest such as Mountain View Cem and the settlement of Quealy to the southwest. The broader environmental context is marked by the North Baxter Basin and South Baxter Basin, illustrating the area's characteristic basin-and-range profile. To the south, the landscape transitions toward Arrowhead Springs near the banks of Sweetwater Cr, highlighting the vital role of these drainage systems in Wyoming's high plains.
