2017 Map of Leroy

About this map

Leroy sits at the northwestern edge of this Uinta County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of water management features and named draws. The reliance on seasonal and spring water is evident in the presence of Oasis Ditch, Byrne Ditch Number 2, and Bigelow Bench Reservoir, which support life and agriculture in this arid environment. Significant natural landmarks like Sugarloaf Butte and Meyers Ridge rise above the drainage systems of Muddy Cr and Spring Cr. The nomenclature of the land reflects both its geology and human history, from the resource-hinting Coal Mine Draw and Soda Hollow to the family-named Musselman Springs. Transportation through this corner of Wyoming is dominated by the modern path of Interstate 80, which cuts across the Bigelow Bench, following the easier grades between the region’s many draws and hollows.
