About this map

The town of Hanna sits at the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, where the residential street grid gives way to a sprawling network of water management and varied terrain. In this 2015 U.S. Geological Survey study, the importance of water in this semi-arid region is evident through features like Big Ditch, Stevies Lake, and the Martinez Reservoir in the southwest. The geography is defined by a series of prominent rises and depressions, including Halleck Ridge, Wilson Ridge, and the Sand Hills, which create natural corridors like Wilson Gap and Quealy Gap.

Tracing the path of WY-72 and several local roads such as Front ST and Mineral DR, the map reveals how human settlement has adapted to the Carbon County environment. Local water sources are numerous, including Limburger Spring and Quealy Spring, which likely served as vital points for livestock or early residents. The southern portion of the quadrangle is largely open territory, dominated by the wide expanse of Dana Meadows and the drainage of Martinez Springs Cr.
