About this map

Shirley Basin provides the setting for this high-desert landscape in Carbon County, where the high plains meet rising topographical markers like Fourmile Point and Fourmile Ridge. The map illustrates a region defined by seasonal watercourses and drainage patterns, including Fourmile Cr and Muddy Cr, which carve through the arid terrain. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of rural routes such as Stinking Creek Rd and Dry Creek Rd that navigate between distinct landforms.

Local landmarks such as Chalk Mtn and the Dry Creek Rim break the horizon, while cattle and sheep ranching heritage is implied by features like Shearing Pens Draw. The inclusion of Meer Reservoir suggests the critical importance of water management in this Wyoming environment. This document serves as a detailed record of the public land survey system and physical geography of the area as it existed in the early 21st century.
