2012 Map of Lamont

About this map

The settlement of Lamont serves as a central point in this Carbon County landscape, situated at a crossroads where a primary north-south highway meets the local Ferris Rd. The area is defined by a series of intermittent watercourses and basins typical of this high Wyoming basin, including the drainage of Lost Soldier Cr and the waters of Mahoney Lake. To the northeast, the Ferris Mountain Ranch and Marsh Reservoir sit at the edge of the more significant terrain, connected to the valley floor by the winding Ferris Mountain Ranch Rd. Local geography is further marked by features like Rocky Draw and Big Sand Spring, which provided essential water sources in this arid environment. The map details the scattered ranching infrastructure and the subtle hydrologic patterns that dictated the placement of early settlements and transportation routes across the high plains.
