2018 Map of Buck Draw

About this map

Mahoney Lakes and the expansive Mud Lake Flats define this high-desert basin along the border of Sweetwater and Carbon counties. This 2018 survey documents a remote landscape shaped by intermittent hydrology and extensive public land divisions. The terrain is marked by seasonal water features and dry basins like Buck Draw and Separation Flats, which suggest the challenging environment early ranchers and travelers encountered while crossing this portion of the Red Desert. Grounded in data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Land Management, the map traces essential transit corridors through the sagebrush, including Stratton Rd and Co Rd 3202. These routes provide the primary access to the scattered wetlands and township sections that characterize this sparsely populated region of Wyoming.
