2012 Map of Pacific Springs
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Summit of the Original South Pass marks the high point of a landscape defined by westward migration and ranching in Sweetwater County. The geography traces the paths of early travelers along the Emigrant Trl and the Lander Pinedale Stage Rd, crossing a high-altitude basin where water sources were critical. Landmarks such as Pacific Springs and the Old Halter and Flick Ranch anchor this corner of the Continental Divide. Drainage patterns are dominated by Pacific Cr and Whitehorse Cr, which feed into local catchments like Hay Meadow Reservoir. Notable terrain features include the prominent Pacific Butte and the broad Hay Meadow, while the Sweetwater River brushes the northern edge of the survey area, illustrating the intersection of historic trails with the region's natural hydrology.
