2012 Map of Hadsell Spring

About this map

Hadsell Spring and the surrounding high plains of Sweetwater County define this corner of the Wyoming desert in the early 21st century. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage systems and artificial catchments, such as Road Crossing Reservoir, Dry Well Reservoir, and Pinnacle Springs Reservoir, which support the region's ranching or wildlife needs. Significant natural landmarks like the Twin Buttes rise above the drainage of Lost Soldier Cr, providing orientation points in an area otherwise dominated by the vast grid of the Public Land Survey System. Human infrastructure is limited to remote corridors like Bairoil Rd and BLM Road 3215, reflecting the sparse, utilitarian settlement pattern typical of the state's interior basins where water sources such as Spring Cr and Rocky Draw Reservoir are critical focal points.
