2012 Map of Simpson Gulch SE

About this map

The Big Sandy River meanders through this arid high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, providing a vital corridor of water and drainage through the open sagebrush country. This 2012 survey illustrates the sparse human footprint in the region, defined largely by historical transportation routes and seasonal drainage channels. The presence of the Green River-South Pass Stage Rd highlights the area's legacy as part of a significant western travel network, connecting remote outposts through a terrain marked by deep erosional features like Carlson Draw and Bone Draw. Near the southern edge of the sheet, Simpson Gulch and the intersection of Lower Farson Cutoff Rd indicate the modern ranching and transit infrastructure that continues to serve this portion of Wyoming's interior basin.
