2021 Map of Sevenmile Gulch

About this map

Brigham Young 1847 tracks across this high-desert terrain, marking a definitive historic corridor through Sweetwater County. The map details a landscape where historical overland migration meets modern industrial infrastructure. This intersection is most visible near Texasgulf Emergency Pond Number 2 and Texasgulf Rd, reflecting the regional importance of trona mining and industrial processing in the Green River Basin. Topographic drainage is defined by the Sevenmile Gulch and the seasonal path of Sevenmile Wash, which cut through the arid plateaus. The presence of the Emigrant Trl alongside these modern landmarks provides a clear view of how the path of least resistance across the Wyoming basin has remained consistent from the mid-19th century pioneer era to the modern industrial age.
