2012 Map of Mexican Flats NW

About this map

The high desert landscape of Wyoming's Sweetwater County is represented here through its sparse but vital infrastructure and hydrography. Sparse drainage patterns across the Mexican Flats terrain converge toward Coal Bank Lake in the northeastern corner of the map. This area of the basin is traversed by a few primary routes, notably Wamsutter Rd and Eureka Headquarters Rd, which serve as the lifelines for transportation through this arid region. The drainage network illustrates the complex natural irrigation of the flats, where small, ephemeral streams define the topography between the scattered plateaus and wide basins.
