2015 Map of Big Charlie Lakes

About this map

The Little Medicine Bow River winds through the high plains of the Wyoming interior, straddling the border between Carbon and Albany counties. This landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with intermittent waterways like Spring Cr and the topographical depression of Johnson Flat Draw shaping the terrain. The central hydrology is anchored by the Big Charlie Lakes, a cluster of water bodies situated in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. Human infrastructure is notably sparse in this cattle-country environment, represented primarily by the solitary stretch of Marshall Rd in the southeast corner. The map illustrates a strictly rural Wyoming character where land is divided by the Public Land Survey System into townships like t26n r77w and t25n r76w, reflecting a continuation of traditional ranching and open-range land use into the 21st century.
