2012 Map of Soap Holes Reservoir

About this map

Soap Holes Reservoir and a network of high-desert water management features define this stretch of the Wyoming landscape. This 2012 survey details a region shaped by both natural drainage and industrial extraction, where ephemeral channels like Dry Cr and Big Hollow Cr are punctuated by man-made impoundments such as Hordeum Reservoir and Dobie Reservoir. The map reveals the imprint of local industry through the Standard Pit and East Fork Pit Number 3, which sit alongside the infrastructure of Cedar Mountain Rd. Topographic features like Big Hollow Bench provide a sense of the arid elevation shifts characteristic of this part of Sweetwater County, while names like Buck Basin Reservoir reflect the functional naming conventions of the high plains.
