2018 Map of Sulphur

About this map

Sulphur sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape, positioned along the historical route of Jungo Rd. This region of the Great Basin is defined by the stark topography of the Kamma Mountains, where water is a scarce but vital resource. The distribution of desert hydrology is meticulously recorded, showing Sulphur Springs in the north and a series of smaller seeps including Wild Rose Spring, Rosebud Spring, and Lander Spring tucked into the upland folds. The terrain is dominated by prominent volcanic and erosional features such as Rosebud Peak and the winding course of Rosebud Canyon. To the southwest, the ephemeral drainage of Rabbit hole Cr cuts through the basin floor, marking a landscape where survival and settlement have long depended on these few dependable water sources scattered across the arid Pershing County range.
