2021 Map of Mexican Flats NW

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-desert terrain on the border of Sweetwater and Carbon Counties. This portion of Wyoming is defined by its vast open stretches and the critical topographic line of the divide, which dictates the hydrology of the American West. The landscape is sparsely marked by industrial and transit routes, such as Wamsutter Rd in the northeast and Eureka Headquarters Rd further south. These roads suggest the importance of energy infrastructure and ranch access in a region otherwise characterized by its isolation and topographic complexity. The map provides a look at the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t17n r94w and t18n r93w, which underpin the legal and physical organization of this high-altitude territory.
