Wamsutter Wyoming was originally settled as an outpost for the Sheep-herding business but later found it's true calling as a hydrocarbon production base. As you can see, the roads snake out from the center of town in all directions towards the small pads which contain, in most cases, natural gas exploration and production wells. These wells are primarily routed into a number of pipelines that head to California for their clean burning power production facilities, and housing among other things.
Wamsutter is also a truck stop community where many truckers get fuel and cheap food from the gas stations on the north side of the freeway which is technically not Wamsutter:-
