About this map

Lone Haystack Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in this high-plains landscape of Carbon County, where seasonal drainages and cattle country define the terrain. The southern portion of the sheet is shaped by the winding N Platte River, which cuts through the region near the Lower Dugway. A network of unpaved tracks and the established Seminoe Rd provide access to this isolated area, following the natural contours of the land around the Haystack Mountains.

Hydrographic patterns are visible through several ephemeral watercourses, including Little Shoe Cr in the northwest and various draws like Lost Springs Draw and Wild Horse Draw. These features, along with Wise Dugout Draw, illustrate the drainage system that supports the local ranching environment. The map captures the area at a time when traditional land use for grazing and river access remained central to the local geography.
