2021 Map of Battle Spring

About this map

Battle Spring serves as a vital hydrological marker within the arid expanse of the Great Divide Basin, a unique endorheic drainage area where water never reaches any ocean. This landscape in Sweetwater County is defined by its subtle topographic shifts and essential water features like the Battle Spring Draw and the broad, level Battle Spring Flat. The map reveals a network of resource-management and access routes, including Minerals Exploration Rd and several Bureau of Land Management tracks such as Blm Rd 3217, which underscore the area's ongoing importance for energy exploration and livestock grazing. The intersection of local county roads like Co Rd 63 and Co Rd 23 illustrates how this high-desert terrain is navigated and managed in the modern era.
