2017 Map of Mexican Flats NW

About this map

The Continental Divide bisects this high-country landscape on the border of Sweetwater and Carbon counties, marking the hydrological backbone of the region. This 2017 survey shows a land defined by ephemeral watercourses and grazing or energy-access routes, with drainage patterns flowing away from the divide into Barrel Springs Draw and North Barrel Springs Draw. The geography is partitioned by the Rectangular Survey System, clearly delineated by township lines such as t17n r94w and t18n r93w. Though largely devoid of permanent settlements, the area is navigated by specialized thoroughfares like Wamsuiter Rd and Eureka Headquarters Rd, reflecting the modern industrial and ranching utility of this high desert terrain.
