2015 Map of Duck Lake

About this map

Duck Lake serves as a central focal point in this high-desert region of Carbon County, where the landscape is defined by drainage patterns and arid terrain. This 2015 survey illustrates a network of seasonal watercourses and topographic landmarks that have guided movement through the area for generations, including the prominent Pine Butte and the carved path of Little Coal Gulch. The map reveals the functional infrastructure of the contemporary West, where historic township boundaries like t17n r92w and t17n r93w intersect with utilitarian transit routes such as Wam Sutter Rd. Water, always a critical resource in the Wyoming basins, is traced through the winding courses of Muddy Cr and Antelope Cr, providing a clear view of the natural hydrology that dictates the distribution of life and land use across these public and private lands.
