2012 Map of Sevenmile Gulch

About this map

Historic pathways intersect with industrial development in this section of Sweetwater County. The map documents the enduring presence of the Emigrant Trl and the Brigham Young 1847 route, offering a clear record of the overland trails that defined the Western migration era. These traditional corridors are shown alongside modern resource extraction infrastructure, including the Texasgulf Rd and the Texasgulf Emergency Pond Number 2. The landscape is characterized by a network of ephemeral drainages, primarily the Sevenmile Gulch and Sevenmile Wash, which collect at Yellow Point Fork Sevenmile Gulch. This data provides a precise look at how 19th-century pioneer routes persisted into the 21st century, often serving as the foundation for the region's contemporary industrial and service roads.
