About this map

Seasonal drainage patterns and water management define this arid landscape in Sweetwater County during the late 1960s. The convergence of West Haystack Wash and East Haystack Wash into the primary Haystack Wash reveals how the topography directs runoff through the high desert basin. To support local ranching or resource needs, a series of small, named water features are distributed across the terrain, including Sand Branch Reservoir, N-T Res, and Cloud Res. These isolated reservoirs, along with Blank Res in the eastern sections, highlight the critical importance of water storage in an environment dominated by intermittent streams like Sand Creek. The map provides a clear record of these essential landmarks before subsequent changes in land use or drainage occurred in this portion of Wyoming.
