1970 Map of Manuel Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Manuel Gap serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Sweetwater County, where the topography is defined by intricate drainage patterns and rising plateaus. The prominent ridge known as The Haystacks dominates the northeastern portion of the quadrangle, with its slopes feeding into West Haystack Wash. This 1970 field-checked survey by the Geological Survey illustrates a region largely shaped by erosion, characterized by the steep escarpments of Town Rim and the formations of Adobe to the southwest. The seasonal flow of Sand Creek traverses the southern reaches, highlighting the sparse but vital water networks that dictate the character of this arid Wyoming terrain. The absence of permanent settlements suggests a landscape primarily utilized for grazing or transit during this era.
