2012 Map of Fifteenmile Spring

About this map

Pacific Cr flows through the northern reaches of this high desert landscape in Sweetwater County, marking a rare watercourse in an otherwise arid expanse. The terrain is defined by subtle elevation shifts and scattered natural landmarks like the prominent Buffalo Hump. Human activity is sparse, centered primarily around the tracking of Eden Ryepatch Rd and the vital water source at Fifteenmile Spring. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a modern view of Wyoming's open range, where the intersection of natural hydrology and a few primitive roads dictates the movement across the territory.
