About this map

Alkali Cr winds through this arid portion of Sublette County, defining a landscape marked by an extensive network of water management and resource extraction. The area is characterized by numerous small-scale water storage features, such as Luman Reservoir Number 1, Vital Reservoir, and a series of numbered basins including Wardell Reservoir Number 1 and Antelope Reservoir Number 7. These structures reflect the vital importance of water catchments for livestock and land use in this high-desert environment.

Industrial activity is evidenced by several excavations scattered across the terrain. From Alkali Draw Pit Number 1 to the Chapel Canyon Pit, these extraction sites are connected by remote access routes like BLM-5401 and BLM-5404. The topography is further divided by significant natural drainage features, most notably Milleson Draw, Reardon Draw, and West Buckhorn Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward the larger canyon systems.
