2017 Map of Sulphur Bar Spring

About this map

The high-desert terrain along the Fremont and Sweetwater County line is defined by vital water sources and long-distance travel corridors. Seasonal drainages such as S Fork Sulphur Creek and N Fork Sulphur Creek converge into Sulphur Creek, while several isolated springs, including Mitten Springs, Arnold Spring, and the eponymous Sulphur Bar Spring, served as essential landmarks for travelers in this arid landscape. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the northern sections, passing near the rim of Coyote Gulch. The presence of the Riverview Cutoff suggests the historical importance of through-routes in this region, where the network of drainages like W Alkali Creek and topographic features like Daley Lake dictated the movement of both livestock and explorers across the Wyoming plateau.
