About this map

Burley Draw and the surrounding high desert of Sweetwater County are defined by a complex system of seasonal drainages and washes that shape this Wyoming landscape. In the northern reaches, Black Butte Cr cuts through the terrain, while the southern portion is marked by the course of E Salt Wells Cr. The area is characterized by these intermittent water features, including Cedar Draw, Polly Draw, and Scheggs Draw, which illustrate the hydrologic patterns of the region.

Human activity is concentrated along established corridors like Patrick Draw Rd and Brady Field Rd, reflecting the infrastructure required for resource management and transport in this part of the state. The prevalence of features such as Alkali Wash suggests the alkaline soil conditions common to these dry basins. This survey provides a clear view of the land partitions across Townships 15 and 16 North, showing how section lines interact with the natural topography.
