About this map

Dana sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Carbon County, where the topography is defined by the prominent Dana Ridge to the south and Edson Ridge to the northwest. The settlement lies along the winding course of Saint Marys Cr, a primary drainage for the area that passes the distinctive landmark of Eagle Rock. This region is characterized by a reliance on sparse water sources, evidenced by named features like Buck Spring, Iron Spring, and the Mud Springs Reservoir.

The infrastructure reflects a mix of traditional land use and modern access, with the Arch Rd providing a corridor through the northern sections. In the northeast, the presence of the Big Ditch indicates early engineering efforts to manage water across the arid terrain. From the open expanse of Dana Meadows to the sheltered depths of Coyote Canyon, the map provides a clear record of the geographic features that have dictated movement and ranching in this portion of the Wyoming basins.
