2015 Map of Measel Spring Reservoir

About this map

Shirley Basin and the depression of Bates Hole define this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, where water management is central to the land's utility. The 2015 topography reveals a network of man-made catchments including Measel Spring Reservoir, Sullivan Reservoir, and Section 20 Reservoir, which capture the seasonal flow of drainages like Sand Cr. These features, along with Junction Reservoir, illustrate the necessary engineering required to support activity in this arid Wyoming environment. Beyond the scattered water sources and the local track of CR-2, the map is dominated by the Public Land Survey System grid, marking the intersections of T28N, T27N, and T26N across the range lines, providing a clear view of how these remote sections are divided and managed.
