About this map

The Shirley Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape in Carbon County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of canyons and draws. Named drainage systems like Schoolhouse Canyon, Norbacher Canyon, and Case Canyon cut through the ridges, while seasonal water sources including Sullivan Spring and Cowden Reservoir support the local environment.

Evidence of ranching and early land use is found in the high parks and meadows, such as Headquarters Park, Johnson Meadows, and Button Meadows. These openings in the timber and terrain represent vital hubs for livestock and movement. Access to this high country is provided by several established routes, including the Leo Shirley Basin Rd and Hanna Leo Draw Rd, which connect the headwaters of Beaver Creek and Lost Cr to the surrounding basins.
