About this map

Meer Ranch sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape in Carbon County, where the infrastructure of ranching defines the geography. The presence of Shearing Pens Draw and Meer Reservoir suggests a land managed for livestock, while Burgess Springs provides a critical natural water source in an otherwise arid environment. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, notably along the Dry Creek Rim and the prominence of Fourmile Point to the southwest.

Transportation through this area relies on long-established corridors such as Dry Creek Rd and the Leo Shirley Basin Rd, which navigate between a complex network of seasonal drainages. Waterways like Fourmile Cr, Muddy Cr, and S Fork Canyon Cr carve through the draws, including Horse Springs Draw, illustrating the hydrological patterns that dictate movement and settlement in this portion of the Wyoming basin.
