2017 Map of Simpson Gulch SE

About this map

The Big Sandy River winds through this section of Sweetwater County, providing a critical water source in a landscape defined by drainage systems like Carlson Draw and Bone Draw. The map reveals a high-desert terrain marked by the physical impression of western migration and local commerce. Historic transport routes are prominently displayed, specifically the Lower Farson Cutoff Rd and the Green River-South Pass Stage Rd, which intersect the vast section lines of the Public Land Survey System. These roads trace the movement of early travel through the high country toward the Continental Divide. The presence of Main St in the southern portion of the quadrangle, near the river's bend, suggests a small concentration of activity or a junction point within the arid expanse of Simpson Gulch.
