2015 Map of Manuel Gap

About this map

Manuel Gap serves as a prominent natural passage through the high-desert terrain of Sweetwater County in this 2015 survey. The landscape is defined by the significant topographic rise of the Adobe Town Rim to the southwest and the distinct formations of The Haystacks near the center of the quadrangle. This area of Wyoming is sparsely settled, with the map recording a network of Bureau of Land Management roads, such as Blm-4411, which provide the primary access through the desert. Drainage patterns are dominated by seasonal watercourses like West Haystack Wash and Sand Cr, which illustrate the arid environment's relationship with occasional heavy runoff. The map highlights the intersection of several townships, including t16n r97w and t15n r96w, providing essential data for land use and resource management in this expansive open country.
