2018 Map of Rock Springs

About this map

The city of Rock Springs is the primary hub of this 2018 survey, centered at the confluence of several vital watercourses and transportation corridors. To the south, the terrain descends toward the North Baxter Basin and South Baxter Basin, marking the high-desert landscape characteristic of Sweetwater County. The map documents the city's modern footprint, including the campus of Western Wyoming Community College and several distinct residential and industrial districts like Blairtown and the outlier settlements at Quealy and Arrowhead Springs. Natural drainage defines the local geography, with Bitter Creek cutting through the center of the urban area while Sweetwater Creek flows to the south. Historically significant landmarks, including the Rock Springs Cemetery, provide essential reference points for those tracing the development of this rail-and-resource-driven community through the early 21st century.
