About this map

Water management and mineral extraction define this section of Sublette County, where a network of numbered reservoirs supports livestock or irrigation in the high desert. Labels like Luman Reservoir Number 1 and Wardell Reservoir Number 5 indicate a highly organized approach to capturing the ephemeral flow of local drainages. The landscape is carved by seasonal watercourses such as Milleson Draw and Alkali Cr, which feed into the area's basin systems.

Economic activity is anchored by extraction at Alkali Draw Pit Number 3 and Alkali Draw Pit Number 5, located in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. These pits, alongside Bureau of Land Management routes like BLM RD 5404, highlight the intersection of public land use and industry in Wyoming. Further south, the terrain deepens into Chapel Canyon, illustrating the varied topography that dominates this part of the state.
