About this map

Tenmile Draw snakes through this high desert landscape of Sweetwater County, where the topography is defined by the high-plateau drainage systems of southwestern Wyoming. In a region where water management is critical to the arid environment, Tenmile Reservoir Number 3 and Tenmile Reservoir Number 4 stand as significant landmarks for local land use. These catchments, along with the grassy expanse of Threemile Meadow, reflect the essential relationship between the terrain and the scarce water resources available to the area's ranchers and wildlife. The southern portion of the quadrangle is bisected by the heavy corridor of Interstate 80, a modern transit artery that follows the historical path of least resistance through the hills, while CR-15 provides more localized access to the surrounding draws and ridges.
