About this map

Coal Bank Basin and the adjacent Coal Bank Draw define this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, Wyoming. The terrain is a complex network of ranching infrastructure and water management, centered around the Dana Ridge and the prominent Sheephead Mtn to the southeast. Water is channeled through an extensive system of man-made waterways, including the Vienna Ditch, Campbell Ditch, and Coyote Ditch, which feed various stock and fishing points.

Strategic water storage is visible throughout the quadrangle at Greyhound Reservoir, Welton Lake, and Welton Fish Pond. Notable natural springs such as Jackson Spring Number 3 support the area's hydrology. Transportation in this high desert environment is dictated by the Stock Drive Way and Rattlesnake Pass Rd, reflecting the long-standing agricultural and livestock movements across the Overland Flats.
