2010 Map of Coffeepot Spring

About this map

Vermillion Bluffs dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and essential water sources. This remote corner of Sweetwater County relies on points like Coffeepot Spring to sustain life in a territory marked by wide depressions and high flats. Significant natural landmarks such as Racetrack Flat and the evocative Beaver Slide Draw indicate a topography shaped by erosion and intermittent water flow. The map records several named drainages, including Shell Creek, Dry Creek, and the long reach of Powder Wash, which together illustrate the hydrologic character of the basin. A rudimentary road network consisting of routes like County Rd-4 and County Rd-88 provides the only access through these expansive draws and washes.
