Sweetwater County

Sweetwater County’s terrain runs from sagebrush desert in the eastern Red Desert to the rugged slopes surrounding Flaming Gorge Reservoir in the south, creating a Wyoming county of wide basins, cliffs and high-country contrast. The Green River crosses the county on its southward course, passing the city of Green River before entering Flaming Gorge. Rock Springs, the county seat, grew through coal mining and the arrival of the Union Pacific Railroad, and remains the area’s principal urban centre. In the Red Desert, the Killpecker Sand Dunes emphasise the region’s wind-shaped terrain, while the reservoir continues across the Utah border between red-rock canyons.
