About this map

Twelvemile Canyon and the surrounding high desert plateau define this landscape in the northern reaches of Sweetwater County. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of drainage systems, including West Buckhorn Draw, East Buckhorn Draw, and the winding Eighteenmile West Buckhorn Canyon Draw. These features demonstrate the complex erosional patterns typical of the region, where seasonal water flow has carved distinct paths through the arid plains.

Modern access is facilitated by a network of gravel and dirt roads such as Monument Butte Rd and Twelvemile Rd. These routes follow the natural topography, providing essential corridors through the township and range divisions of T26N and T25N. The map illustrates a largely unpopulated area managed by the Bureau of Land Management, as evidenced by BLM Rd 4204, serving as a record of late-modern land use and natural drainage in the Wyoming backcountry.
