2015 Map of South Pass City

About this map

South Pass City sits at the heart of this landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses and mineral-rich gulches. The settlement's layout is centered on S Pass Main St, serving as a gateway to the southern reaches of the Shoshone National Forest. This 2015 survey reveals the rugged character of the area, punctuated by colorfully named landforms like Slaughterhouse Gulch, Big Hermit Gulch, and Palmetto Gulch. To the south, the Erramouspe Place provides a specific point of genealogical interest along the drainages of Pine Cr. Modern recreation is represented by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, which winds across the northern half of the quadrangle. The map also traces the Sweetwater River in the extreme south, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped early exploration and settlement in this part of Wyoming.
