2012 Map of Burley Draw

About this map

Burley Draw serves as a central landmark in this drainage basin within Sweetwater County, where the arid landscape is defined by its intermittent watercourses and technical road networks. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the remote terrain where E Salt Wells Cr and Black Butte Cr carve through the basin. The map reveals a high-desert environment characterized by numerous named geographic depressions, including Polly Draw, Cedar Draw, and Scheggs Draw. Human infrastructure in this area is sparse, primarily represented by Patrick Draw Rd and secondary routes that navigate around Alkali Wash. This cartographic record provides a precise view of the hydrology and topographic relief in a region where seasonal runoff shapes the land, making it a valuable resource for understanding the modern geography of Wyoming's high plains.
