About this map

Muddy Cr and Spring Cr carve through this high-elevation landscape of southwestern Wyoming, where cattle ranching and resource extraction have long defined the local economy. The settlement of Leroy serves as a central point in a territory marked by extensive water management features, including the Oasis Ditch, Byrne Ditch Number 2, and the Bigelow Bench Reservoir. These irrigation systems reflect the necessity of moving water across the arid basins to support livestock and agriculture in the Uinta County uplands.

Industrial history is etched into the terrain at Coal Mine Draw and various drainage features like Soda Hollow and Mussleman Draw. The topography is dominated by prominent landforms such as Meyers Ridge and Sugarloaf Butte, which provided natural landmarks for early travelers and homesteaders. This survey captures a network of county roads, including Piedmont Rd and Leroy Rd, that connect isolated springs and draws across the high desert floor.
