About this map

Hanna and the adjacent settlement of Elmo anchor the southern portion of this landscape in the high desert of Carbon County. This 2015 survey reveals the complex drainage patterns of the Medicine Bow Breaks, where intermittent watercourses like Barrel Springs Draw and Willow Spring Draw carve through the arid terrain. The map details a transition from the structured street grids of the towns to the network of industrial and rural routes that support local operations, including Cyprus/Shoshone Rd and Hanna Draw Rd.

Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by features such as the Middle Ditch and Stink Cr. These landmarks, along with the isolated Barrel Spring, illustrate how the natural topography has been navigated and modified for habitation and industry. The map captures the region's character as a modern western hub where local roads like Linder Ln and Calvert Dr connect small communities to the broader Wyoming landscape.
