About this map

Agricultural life and the energy industry converge near Big Piney and Marbleton in this western Wyoming landscape. The map highlights a complex network of water management essential for high-desert ranching, including the Highline Canal, Tarter Ditch, and Midmermac Ditch, which redirect flow from the Green River and its various forks like N Piney Cr. While the town grids are clearly defined, the surrounding sections are marked by industrial infrastructure such as Energy Rd and Industrial Rd, reflecting the regional importance of the local oil and gas fields.

Evidence of early transportation and geography is found at Ferry Island and along the winding course of Muddy Creek. Local aviation is represented by Miley Memorial Field, situated just north of the residential centers. From the draws of Bray Draw to the depressions of Spring Gulch, the map provides a clear record of how the natural drainage systems have been adapted for human use through irrigation and road development.
