2012 Map of Cyclone Draw

About this map

Stratton Lakes dot the arid landscape of this northern section of Sweetwater County, where the terrain is defined by seasonal drainage patterns and sparse infrastructure. The eponymous Cyclone Draw cuts through the center of the sheet, serving as a primary hydrological feature in an otherwise dry high-desert environment. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a network of Bureau of Land Management routes, including BLM Road 3216 and BLM Road 3214, which provide access to this isolated interior. The map illustrates the specialized water management and access required for this region of Wyoming, where natural basins and draws dictate the movement of both water and travelers.
