About this map

Fourmile Ridge dominates this high-altitude Carbon County landscape, where the drainage systems of Middle Fork Sage Cr and Alkali Cr carve through the arid terrain. The map reveals a network of land management and ranching infrastructure, evidenced by isolated features like Irene Reservoir and several named draws including Reno Draw and Sneftens Draw. Access across these townships is maintained by a few primitive routes such as Kortes Rd and Werner Ranch Rd, reflecting the remote character of the region.

The presence of Mine Hill suggests historical mineral exploration or activity within these sections, while prominent natural landmarks like Dry Creek Rim and Wolf Canyon provide significant topographic orientation. This 2015 survey provides a modern snapshot of the region's enduring rural character, illustrating how contemporary ranching and resource management continue to shape this part of the Wyoming interior.
