2021 Map of Tipton

About this map

The Continental Divide traverses this high desert landscape within the Red Desert Basin of Sweetwater County, marking a critical hydrological boundary in the American West. The small settlements of Tipton and Robinson sit along the southern edge of the map, positioned near the vital transportation corridor of Interstate 80. The terrain is defined by dry watercourses like Salt Sage Draw and Smiley Draw, which carve through the arid plateau. Surveyed in the early 21st century, the map reveals a remote region where infrastructure is largely limited to county and government routes such as Co RD 67 and various BLM roads. The layout of the land reflects a vast, open territory used for resource management and transit across the high plains, providing a clear view of the intersection between modern highways and the fundamental topography of the Great Divide.
