2012 Map of Eagles Nest Draw

About this map

Great Divide Basin defines this high-desert region of Sweetwater County, where the interior drainage prevents water from reaching either the Atlantic or Pacific oceans. The landscape is dominated by seasonal watercourses and drainage channels, most notably Eagles Nest Draw and Battle Spring Draw in the southern portion of the quadrangle. In the northwest, the ephemeral flow of Lost Cr cuts through the terrain. This is a working landscape managed by the Bureau of Land Management, as evidenced by the network of utility and access routes including BLM Road 3210, BLM Road 3208, and BLM Road 3237. Aside from these service roads and Hadsell Rd, the area remains largely undeveloped, preserving a view of the high Wyoming plains in the early twenty-first century.
