About this map

Battle Spring Flat dominates this high desert landscape in Sweetwater County, showing the intricate network of seasonal drainage and water resource management in the late twentieth century. The map documents the passage of Hadsell Road across the arid terrain, where natural water features like Lost Creek and Eagles Nest Draw are supplemented by man-made improvements.

Evidence of resource extraction and ranching infrastructure is scattered throughout, including a Prospect site and various specialized wells. Notable landmarks such as the Circle Bar Well, Gas Well, and a Flowing Well indicate the importance of underground water and mineral access in this Wyoming basin. The inclusion of Battle Spring Draw in the southern portion further illustrates the topographical character of this remote corridor during the 1980s.
