2021 Map of Broom Draw

About this map

Old Ten Sleep Hwy traverses the southern reaches of this Wyoming landscape, marking a historic transit corridor through the arid basin of Washakie County. The area is defined by its water management infrastructure, essential for ranching and industry in such a dry climate. Named features like Pumpjack Reservoir, Hanger Reservoir, and the Hidden Dome Reservoir network indicate the intersection of petroleum extraction and livestock grazing. In the northern sections, drainage patterns follow Broom Draw and Big Cottonwood Cr, while transport is facilitated by industrial routes such as Bonanza Rd and Mobil Rd. This map captures a modern view of the region's working landscape, where land use is dictated by the availability of water at sites like Badger Reservoir and the sediment-heavy Silted Reservoir.
