2012 Map of Black Spring Reservoir

About this map

Black Spring Reservoir sits at the heart of this high desert landscape in Sweetwater County, where the management of water defines the human footprint. The map documents a network of essential water sources including Soaphole Spring and Indian Reservoir, reflecting the region's reliance on scattered springs and man-made catchments for livestock or irrigation. These water features are connected by a sparse but vital road network, primarily Co Hwy-1 and Cedar Mountain Rd. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of Little Dry Cr, which carves through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns that dominate this arid environment. This 2012 survey serves as a precise record of the contemporary infrastructure and hydrological features that support life and transit in this part of southwestern Wyoming.
