About this map

McCarty Ranch sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape in Carbon County, where ranching heritage meets modern water management. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems, notably the sprawling High Savery Reservoir which dominates the southern section of the map. This reservoir, fed by the Savery Cr and the Dirty Man Fork, represents a significant modification of the natural watercourse for regional resource needs.

The presence of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail crossing the northeastern corner highlights the area's importance for long-distance navigation through the American West. Remote access is facilitated by primitive routes like McCarty Canyon Rd and Browns Hill Rd, while the map includes curious navigational notations such as Best Route to HU and No Route to HU, indicating the challenges of traversing this territory. Notable landmarks for local history include McCarty Canyon and Smiley Meadow.
