Shirley Basin and the northern reaches of Bates Hole define this high-altitude Wyoming landscape in Carbon County. The terrain is characterized by a network of seasonal water management and drainage, with intermittent flows like Sand Cr and Hunt Cr feeding into several named catchments. Notable water bodies include the Measel Spring Reservoir in the northeast and Sullivan Reservoir to the southwest, which support the region's agricultural and livestock history. The presence of Junction Reservoir and Section 20 Reservoir further illustrates the complex water-rights infrastructure necessary in this semi-arid environment. Transportation is limited to sparse corridors such as Co RD 2, reflecting the remote and open character of the basin during this period.
