2017 Map of Meads

About this map

Stage Station Springs and the small settlement of Meads define the human geography of this high-elevation landscape in Carbon County. The terrain is characterized by broad geographic depressions and expansive levels, most notably the Sand Basin and the wide Overland Flats. This area was historically significant for western transit, as evidenced by the local naming conventions and proximity to transit corridors. The natural drainage of Pass Cr winds through the northern sections of the map, carving through the high plains. The infrastructure here is sparse, consisting largely of remote thoroughfares such as Rattlesnake Pass Rd and Overland Dome Rd, which connect these isolated points across the rugged Wyoming interior. This 2017 survey reflects the modern management of public and private lands in a region where water sources like the springs remained vital focal points for decades.
