2017 Map of White Rocks

About this map

White Mtn and its steep eastern escarpment dominate this portion of the high Wyoming desert, revealing the dramatic vertical relief of Sweetwater County. The terrain transitions from the elevated plateau of the mountain down toward White Rocks and the drainage patterns of Stagecoach Draw. This environment is shaped by the relentless movement of sand, evidenced by the Sand Knolls in the west and the wide, ephemeral path of Killpecker Cr to the northeast. Human passage through this arid landscape is recorded by the alignment of Old Hwy 191, which skirts the base of the mountain. The map details a complex network of seasonal watercourses like Sixmile Draw, illustrating how water and wind continue to carve the face of the basins between the rising mesas.
