2017 Map of Thoman School

About this map

Thoman School stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Sweetwater County, marking a site of local educational history situated west of the Green River. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic geographic incisions, including Eighteenmile Canyon and Twelvemile Canyon in the north, which give way to the drainage systems of Fourmile Gulch and the Big Sandy River further east. This 2017 Bureau of Land Management and USGS data synthesis reveals a network of remote access routes, such as the Lower Farson Cutoff Rd and Seedskadee Rd, which traverse the open range. The convergence of these two major river systems provides a critical look at the water resources and land management boundaries in a region where historical trails like the Flicker Trail meet modern township and range lines.
