2012 Map of Sage

About this map

Sage and Carlson anchor this portion of Lincoln County, where the high desert terrain of southwestern Wyoming is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and prominent ridges. The landscape is dominated by the broad expanse of Boulder Ridge to the north and Sillem Ridge to the south, with the drainage of Twin Cr providing a natural corridor for transportation. Human activity in this arid environment is tied closely to water management, as evidenced by the Thomas Reservoir and Gooseberry Spring. To the east, the terrain becomes more complex as Collett Cr and Bridger Fork carve through the foothills, while Nugget Canyon and Bulldog Hollow mark significant breaks in the local topography. This 2012 survey illustrates the intersection of modern road infrastructure with the traditional ranching and transit routes that have long characterized this high-altitude region.
