About this map

Little Hogsback and the parallel ridge of The Hogsback define the North-South topographical grain of this Uinta County landscape. The area is characterized by a series of high ridges and broad drainage systems, including the headwaters and tributaries of Clear Creek and Albert Creek. Evidence of early motorized transit is visible via the 189 highway corridor and a surviving Jeep Trail winding through the northern hills.

Strategic passage points like Bridger Gap suggest the historic movement of people through these high basins. The map documents scattered industrial activity through several Gravel Pits, while the naming of numerous drainages such as Toms Draw, Wasmer Draw, and Meadow Draw provides a detailed geographic record of the local watershed. These names, alongside landmarks like Round Mountain and Haystack, serve as primary reference points for researchers studying the land use and ranching history of this corner of Wyoming.
