About this map

Cumberland Flats dominates the central landscape of this Uinta County region, where the high-elevation drainage patterns of the western Wyoming interior are clearly defined. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges and depressions, most notably the dual features of Little Hogsback and The Hogsback. These north-south oriented formations dictate the flow of local waterways, including Clear Cr and Shurtleff Cr, which navigate the base of landmarks like Round Mtn.

Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the presence of the Painter Number 1 Reservoir and Davis Number 2 Reservoir in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a transition point through Bridger Gap, a natural passage near the eponymous Meadow Draw. This area serves as a study in high-desert hydrology, with numerous named draws such as Haystack Draw, Lost Draw, and Wasmer Draw cutting through the topography toward the main channel of Albert Cr.
