2015 Map of Tipton

About this map

The Continental Divide traverses the southern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, marking a fundamental geographic boundary within the Red Desert Basin. The settlement of Tipton and the nearby locality of Robinson sit along the primary east-west transportation corridor that parallels the southern edge of the map. This area is defined by its drainage patterns, with Salt Sage Draw and Smiley Draw etching paths through the arid terrain. The map documents a sparse but vital infrastructure network, including Tipton North Rd and CR-67, which provide access to the vast interior of the basin. The survey illustrates how human activity in this part of Wyoming has historically clustered near the corridor at the base of the divide, while the northern sections remain largely defined by natural topographic features and land survey divisions.
