About this map

The high plains of Uinta County are defined here by sparse settlement and vital water management infrastructure. Elkhurst stands as the primary named locale in this northern stretch of the county, situated near the meandering path of Muddy Cr. The landscape is punctuated by distinctive geological landmarks, most notably the prominent rises of The Pinnacle and The Nipple.

Water security in this arid environment is evidenced by the presence of Austin Reservoir and the Powers Stock Reservoir, both critical for local agricultural or livestock operations. The transportation network is a grid of rural routes, including Carter Cutoff RD and Co RD-26, which connect the isolated homesteads and ranching tracts across the basin. This survey provides a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure and land use patterns that sustain this Wyoming community.
