About this map

Cooper Ridge and the high desert terrain of Sweetwater County define this landscape as it appeared in the mid-2010s. The area is characterized by a series of significant drainage features, including the sprawling Big Flat Draw, Pinnacle Draw, and Williams Draw, which channel intermittent runoff through the high plains. The transport network reflects the region's energy and ranching infrastructure, with Brady Field Rd and Brady Plant Rd providing access to local industrial sites. Water is scarce but historically significant in this environment, represented here by the Black Buttes Cr and the drainage at Sand Wash. This topographic study by the U.S. Geological Survey shows how modern roads like Co Road 24 and Patrick Draw Rd follow the natural contours and established pathways of this portion of southern Wyoming.
