2015 Map of Desert Springs

About this map

Continental Divide winds through this section of Sweetwater County, marking the high ground of the Great Divide Basin. The landscape is defined by its drainages and tracks, notably Smiley Draw and Patrick Draw, which carve through the high desert terrain. The area is sparsely populated but contains vital transportation routes for local industry and ranching. The namesake Desert Springs sits in the southeastern quadrant, a critical water source in this arid environment. A network of rural routes, including Bar X Rd and Patrick Draw Rd, provides access across the township lines of T20N and T19N, while Interstate 80 and Madison Dr parallel the southern border, connecting this high-altitude landscape to the broader Wyoming corridor.
