About this map

Dugway Rim forms a prominent topographic break across this central Wyoming landscape, where four counties—Natrona, Converse, Carbon, and Albany—converge. The northern portion of the quadrangle includes the edge of the Medicine Bow National Forest, a terrain of high ridges and narrow canyons cut by Deer Cr and Texas Cr. This area is defined by its drainage network, with the N Fork Little Medicine Bow River and the Little Medicine Bow River carving through the southern half.

A network of remote access routes, including Deer Creek Rd and Balsh Rd, serves the high country. Isolated water sources like Squaw Spring and the drainage at Brennan Draw highlight the arid character of the region. The map provides a detailed look at the 2015 layout of public land survey sections and ranch roads such as Little Medicine Rd that navigate the varied elevations of the Shirley Basin and surrounding foothills.
