2015 Map of Lamont NE

About this map

Dorr Meadow and the high-elevation drainage basins of Carbon County define this landscape as it appeared during the 2015 USGS survey. The area is characterized by an intricate network of seasonal and perennial watercourses, including the headwaters of Cottonwood Cr, Muddy Cr, and Cress Cr. These streams flow through a topography marked by significant elevation changes, with the northern portion of the sheet reaching several hundred feet higher than the southern plains. The built environment is sparse, consisting primarily of utility-focused infrastructure like CC Road 100 and Ferris Rd. Water management is evident at the Marsh Reservoir in the northwest, while natural features like Little Sand Spring indicate the critical role of groundwater in this arid environment. This map captures the remote, high-desert character of the region, emphasizing the spatial relationships between named water sources and the historical public land survey system divisions.
