About this map

The Shirley Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, where a network of seasonal watercourses and spring-fed basins defines the local geography. Ranching and land management legacy is visible through features like Headquarters Park and Cowden Reservoir, while the rugged terrain is dissected by numerous draws and canyons including Balsam Draw and Schoolhouse Canyon.

Transport through this isolated region relies on established routes such as Leo Shirley Basin Rd and Hanna Leo Draw Rd. The presence of Johnson Meadows and Button Meadows suggests historical grazing sites near the headwaters of Beaver Cr and Saylor Cr. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the Wyoming interior, from Tin Can Draw in the north to the complex creek systems at the foot of the mountains.
