2021 Map of Circle Bar Lake

About this map

Honeycomb Buttes rise above the high desert floor along the southern boundary of this Wyoming quadrangle, marking the transition between Fremont County and Sweetwater County. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Harris Slough and Buffalo Gulch carving paths through the northern elevations near the Antelope Hills. The eponymous Circle Bar Lake sits in the southeastern quadrant, a rare water feature in an arid environment otherwise etched by seasonal waterways like Sand Cr and Red Cr. For those tracing historical movement across the Great Divide Basin, the presence of the Riverview Cutoff provides a modern reference for old desert corridors. The map details the complex topography of the high plains, where creeks such as Picket Cr and Granite Cr draw from the surrounding ridges.
