2017 Map of Cooper Ridge NE

About this map

Cooper Ridge defines the high ground in this portion of Sweetwater County, where the high desert landscape is deeply etched by a network of seasonal watercourses. The drainage of Black Butte Cr serves as the primary hydrologic feature, joined by several significant topographic depressions including Pinnacle Draw, Williams Draw, and Big Flat Draw. This area reflects the modern industrial and ranching infrastructure of southwestern Wyoming, indicated by the presence of Brady Plant Rd and Brady Field Rd in the southeastern corner. These roads, along with Patrick Draw Rd, signal the region's connection to energy development and resource management. Farther south, Sand Wash marks the lower elevations, highlighting the intricate natural erosion patterns that characterize this arid environment during the early 21st century.
