2012 Map of Barrel Springs

About this map

Barrel Springs anchors this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, where a network of Bureau of Land Management and county roads provide access to the remote terrain. The area is defined by its seasonal drainage systems, notably Wild Rose Draw and Mulligan Draw, which reveal the erosional patterns of the Wyoming basin. Though human settlement is sparse, the infrastructure is marked by thoroughfares such as Eurecka Headquarters Rd and Delaney Rim Rd, likely supporting local ranching or energy interests. Permanent water sources like North Barrel Spring remain critical landmarks in this arid environment, alongside named waterways including Shallow Cr and W Red Willow Cr. The map captures a moment of modern land management, showing the intersection of public land access and the natural hydrology of the Great Divide Basin.
