2015 Map of Austin Reservoir

About this map

Elkhurst sits in the high desert landscape of Wyoming's Uinta County, serving as a focal point for the surrounding cattle country. The terrain is defined by distinct geologic markers, most notably the prominent rises of The Pinnacle and The Nipple, which provide navigational landmarks across the arid plains. Water management is central to life in this environment, as evidenced by the namesake Austin Reservoir and the Powers Stock Reservoir, both critical for sustaining livestock in a region where natural drainage like Muddy Cr and Austin Wash can be ephemeral.
