2021 Map of Tenmile Rim

About this map

The Continental Divide traverses this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, marking a fundamental hydrologic boundary in the American West. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts and drainage systems that define the local geography, notably including the Tenmile Rim and the corresponding Tenmile Draw. These features, along with the nearby Twelvemile Gulch and Ninemile Wash, illustrate the erosional patterns of this arid environment as documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2021. The few signs of human infrastructure are concentrated along the winding path of Bitter Creek Rd, which serves as the primary corridor through this open country. This survey provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, including t22n r100w, at a point in time before modern expansion might further alter the traditional land use of the Wyoming interior.
