About this map

Shirley Basin and the depression of Bates Hole define this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, Wyoming. The terrain is characterized by a sparse but essential network of water management features, including Measel Spring Reservoir in the north and Sullivan Reservoir in the southwest. These isolated water bodies are connected by seasonal drainages such as Sand Cr, reflecting the region's reliance on catchments for ranching and livestock in an arid environment.

Human presence is limited to a few remote corridors like Co RD 2, which winds through the northern sections of the township. Large-scale topographic features such as Junction Reservoir and Section 20 Reservoir highlight the engineering required to sustain activity across these broad basins. The map provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System grid, illustrating the vast, open parcels that make up this section of the Wyoming interior.
