About this map

Shirley Basin provides the foundational landscape for this part of Carbon County, where the high desert terrain is defined by dramatic escarpments and seasonal drainages. The Dry Creek Rim and Chalk Mtn overlook a complex network of draws and creeks, including Horse Springs Draw and Shearing Pens Draw, which reflect the region's long-standing connection to livestock grazing and ranching operations.

Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the presence of Meer Reservoir and the named sources of Burgess Springs. These points of interest, along with the distinct topographical features of Fourmile Point and Fourmile Ridge, offer a clear look at the undeveloped and open character of the Wyoming interior. Navigational routes like Dry Creek Rd and Co RD 102 remain the primary arteries through this expansive rangeland.
