2015 Map of Hay Meadow Reservoir

About this map

Emigrant Trl cuts across this high desert landscape, marking the historic path of westward expansion near the meeting point of three Wyoming counties. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, including Dry Sandy Cr and Pacific Cr, which flow through a region of complex jurisdictional boundaries between Sublette, Fremont, and Sweetwater Counties. This 2015 survey details the hydrology around the Hay Meadow Reservoir and Pacific Number 2 Reservoir, critical water management points in an arid environment. Local landmarks like Monument Draw and Hay Meadow break the upland plains, while the presence of Mccann Ranch Rd suggests the continued importance of ranching operations in this corner of the state. The map captures the intersection of historical transit routes and modern water infrastructure in a remote part of the Great Divide Basin.
