About this map

Ferris (Historical) sits as a focal point of this high-desert landscape, marking the site of a former settlement along the southern edge of the Ferris Mountains. The terrain transitions from the steep grades of Miners Canyon in the north to a lower drainage basin characterized by seasonal and intermittent water features. This network includes the isolated Rinshaw Lake and several prominent creek beds such as Sand Cr and Riddle Cr that carve through the arid flats.

Transportation through this part of Carbon County is defined by the intersection of Ferris Rd and Buzzard Rd, which likely followed established routes connecting these remote outposts. The topographic detail highlights prominent landmarks like Table Mtn in the south, providing a clear picture of the geographic isolation and specialized water management required in this Wyoming mountain-and-basin environment.
