About this map

The Continental Divide traverses this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, where the topography is defined by a series of significant drainages and elevations. Notable landmarks such as High Point and Sugar Loaf rise above the surrounding terrain, providing orientation points for travelers moving through this arid corridor. The map details the hydrological network of the region, including Coal Bank Spring and the extensive Coal Bank Wash, which serve as critical features in an otherwise dry environment.

Transportation through this high-desert region is represented by the Eight Mile Lake Rd, which winds across the township lines. The drainage patterns are further articulated by Horse Pasture Draw, Standard Draw, and Antelope Cr, illustrating the complex erosional geography that characterizes this portion of the western Divide. This 2017 survey provides a clear view of the public land survey system and the physical geography prior to more recent surface changes.
