2021 Map of Duck Lake

About this map

Duck Lake sits at the center of this Wyoming high-desert survey, surrounded by the drainage networks of Antelope Cr and Muddy Cr. The landscape is defined by its arid terrain features, including the prominent Pine Butte to the east and the deep incisions of Little Coal Gulch and Coal Gulch. These names suggest a legacy of local resource extraction and the practical navigation needs of early travelers in the Great Divide Basin region. Transportation through this remote section of Carbon County is facilitated by Wamsutter Rd and Duck Lake Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land between North Barrel Springs Draw and the surrounding rangeland. The map illustrates a sparse human footprint, primarily organized around water access and the critical road connections that link these isolated basins.
