1986 Map of Twelvemile Well

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the southwestern portion of this Sweetwater County landscape, defining the high drainage boundaries of this arid Wyoming terrain. The 1980s data illustrates a sparse, functional environment where water access is the primary marker of human presence and survival. Features like the Twelvemile Well stand as vital landmarks for those traversing the high desert, providing a specific point of reference in an area otherwise characterized by broad basins and dry watercourses. Ephemeral drainage patterns are clearly mapped, including the meandering paths of Twelvemile Gulch, Dugout Draw, and Tenmile Draw. To the southeast, the terrain opens into the expansive Tenmile Flat, showing the relationship between the elevated divide and the lower catchment areas that define the region's topography.
