2017 Map of Duck Lake

About this map

Duck Lake sits at the heart of this high-altitude Carbon County landscape, a seasonal water feature in an arid expanse defined by deep erosional cuts and drainage networks. The terrain is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Pine Butte in the northeast and a series of rugged draws including Coal Gulch, Little Coal Gulch, and North Barrel Springs Draw to the southwest. This 2017 survey illustrates the sparse but essential transportation infrastructure of the Red Desert region, primarily centered on the intersection of Wamsutter Rd and Duck Lake Rd. The map detail captures the intersection of several townships, including t17n r93w, where ephemeral watercourses like Antelope Cr and Muddy Cr dictate the natural flow of the land. These features provide critical spatial context for researchers studying the geography of Wyoming's basin lands or tracing early transit corridors through the county.
