2017 Map of Sevenmile Gulch

About this map

The path of the Brigham Young 1847 route bisects this high desert landscape, marking the historic westward movement through Sweetwater County. This corridor is shared by the Emigrant Trl, where the physical geography of the Sevenmile Gulch and Sevenmile Wash influenced the early travel patterns of pioneers and settlers. These traditional routes persist alongside modern industrial infrastructure, such as Texasgulf Rd and the Texasgulf Emergency Pond Number 2. The map illustrates a landscape defined by its historical transit role, where township and range lines like t20n r111w provide a rigid grid over the undulating natural terrain and the winding tracks of nineteenth-century expeditions.
