2012 Map of Mexican Flats

About this map

Mexican Flats characterizes this high-desert region of Wyoming, where seasonal water management and ranching define the land use. The presence of the Pool Ranch along the meandering course of Muddy Cr illustrates the vital connection between livestock operations and reliable water sources in an arid landscape. Further south, the Dad Larsen Detention Dam 1593 Number 6 and the Twin Reservoirs indicate sophisticated modern efforts to harness runoff from features like Red Wash and Barrel Springs Draw. This network of draws and washes, including Coal Gulch and South Barrel Springs Draw, funnels water through a terrain navigated by a system of gravel and dirt routes such as Standard Rd and Windmill Draw Rd.
