1970 Map of South Barrel Spring

About this map

Arid high-desert drainage patterns define this landscape along the border of Sweetwater and Carbon counties. The terrain is dominated by a complex network of seasonal watercourses, including the prominent Barrel Springs Draw, Windmill Draw, and South Barrel Springs Draw. Human presence in this environment is marked by essential water management and resource extraction, evidenced by Mexican Flats Reservoir No 1 and the Dad Dail Reservoir. Surface water is sparse, relying on named points like South Barrel Spring and Stratton Spring. The infrastructure consists of isolated resource markers such as a Drill Hole and the lone thoroughfare of West Hangout Road, reflecting the area's primary use for ranching or mineral exploration during the late twentieth century.
