2012 Map of Duck Lake

About this map

Duck Lake serves as a focal point for this high-desert basin in Carbon County, situated within a network of ephemeral drainages and notable terrain features. The landscape is defined by the carved paths of Antelope Cr and Muddy Cr, which intersect the dry expanses characteristic of this part of the Wyoming plateau. Remote access is provided by the junction of Wamsutter Rd and Duck Lake Rd, highlighting the sparse but essential transportation network that serves the region's energy and ranching interests. Distinctive landforms such as Pine Butte, Little Coal Gulch, and the curiously named North Barrel Springs Draw illustrate the geological character of the area, where water sources and elevation changes have long dictated movement across the sagebrush steppe.
