2015 Map of Hadsell Spring

About this map

The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail- Wyoming Portion traverses this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, crossing a terrain defined by intermittent drainages and critical water sources. Named landmarks like Stratton Rim and the Twin Buttes rise above a series of draws, including Osborne Draw and Stratton Draw. The necessity of water management in this arid region is evident through several catchments, such as Pinnacle Springs Reservoir, Dry Well Reservoir, and Rocky Draw Reservoir. Access through this territory is maintained by Bairoil Rd and several Bureau of Land Management routes like Blm-3215, which serve the various springs and natural features like Hadsell Spring and Lost Soldier Cr. The map captures a section of the divide where seasonal creek beds and topographic variations dictate the local geography.
