2012 Map of Doty Mountain

About this map

Doty Mountain rises as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape of Carbon County, where a network of ephemeral drainages and intermittent streams carves through the terrain. The map documents a sparsely populated area defined by isolated outposts such as Baur Ranch and the Olson Cabin. The drainage system is particularly intricate, featuring named watercourses like Muddy Cr, Antelope Cr, and the descriptively named Soap Hole Wash. These washes and draws, including Chicken Springs Wash and Cy Draw, dictate the movement and settlement patterns in this arid region. Significant topographical elevations like Baldy Butte and China Butte provide navigational markers across a landscape primarily accessed by four-wheel-drive trails and local roads, illustrating the area's continued use for ranching and resource management in the early 21st century.
