About this map

Boot Heel rises above the high plains of Albany County, anchoring a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and thermal activity. This 2015 survey details a network of rural access ways including Marshall Rd and Sheep Creek Rd, which serve the scattered water resources essential to this environment. The presence of Arsenic Geyser near Carcass Ridge points to the area's geothermal underpinnings, while man-made features like Priet Reservoir and Johnson Flat Reservoir highlight the necessity of water management.

Land management is further evidenced by the naming of Johnson Flat and its accompanying Johnson Flat Draw. The topographic detail reveals a series of residential or service drives branching through the terrain, such as Prairie Edge Dr and Prairie Star Dr. These labels, alongside traditional drainages like Red Draw, provide a clear picture of how modern development and natural geography intersect in this corner of Wyoming.
