About this map

The high desert landscape of Uinta County is defined by a network of ephemeral watercourses and early irrigation infrastructure. Oasis Ditch and Byrne Ditch Number 2 cut across the arid terrain, illustrating the critical role of water management in this part of Wyoming. These man-made channels complement natural features like Muddy Cr and Musselman Springs, providing the necessary hydration for ranching and grazing operations in an area dominated by prominent landforms such as Meyers Ridge and the distinctively named Sugarloaf Butte.

Modern transport corridors follow the natural contours of the land, with Leroy Rd and Piedmont Rd navigating the draws and hollows. The presence of Coal Mine Draw hints at the region's industrial past, while names like Bigelow Bench Reservoir and Bigelow Springs anchor the geography to local family history. This survey provides a clear view of the complex hydrology required to sustain the high-plains environment near the Bigelow Bench.
