2021 Map of Manuel Gap

About this map

Adobe Town Rim dominates the southwestern quadrant of this Sweetwater County landscape, marking a significant geological break in the high desert terrain. This 2021 survey details a region characterized by complex drainage patterns and eroded formations, most notably at The Haystacks and the nearby West Haystack Wash. The map serves as a contemporary record of public land management, tracing the path of BLM RD 4411 as it winds through the namesake Manuel Gap. The area is defined by its relative isolation, where infrastructure is limited to these Bureau of Land Management routes and the intermittent flow of Sand Cr in the southeast. For those studying the physical geography or land use of Wyoming's basins, these topographic details provide a precise look at the desert's natural corridors and remote breaks.
