2021 Map of Wamsutter

About this map

Wamsutter stands as the primary hub of this high-desert landscape in the Red Desert region, defined by its relationship with the transcontinental transportation corridor. The town's grid is small but distinct, bounded by streets like Bugas Ave and Latham Ave, while the adjacent rail corridor is marked by Railroad Ave. Outside the town center, the terrain is characterized by ephemeral drainage patterns such as Hansen Draw and a complex network of industrial and service roads, including the aptly named Pipeline Rd and Cig Rd. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern footprint of a community traditionally centered on energy production and rail transit, with routes like Wamsutter-Crooks Gap Rd extending into the surrounding Sweetwater County basins. The boundary with Carbon County cuts through the eastern portion of the map, separating the high plateaus and draws that define this portion of the Continental Divide.
