About this map

The confluence of the Green River and the Big Sandy River anchors this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County. The presence of Lombard Ferry along the riverbanks points to the area's long-standing importance as a water crossing, while Hawley Ranch indicates the ranching heritage that persisted into the early 21st century. The map details a complex network of dry drainage systems, including Eighteenmile Canyon, Fourmile Gulch, and Twelvemile Canyon, which carve through the Little Colorado Desert. Local transport routes like Seedskadee Rd and the Lower Farson Cutoff Rd provide a clear view of how modern ranching and resource access are managed in this arid corner of Wyoming. This survey offers researchers a precise look at topographic names and land use patterns as they existed just before the centennial of the state's traditional livestock industry.
