About this map

Mexican Flats and its surrounding drainage systems define this high-desert reach of Carbon County. The landscape is marked by intricate hydraulic management, most notably at the Dad Larsen Detention Dam 1593 Number 6 and the Twin Reservoirs to the southeast. These man-made features suggest a history of water conservation and livestock management in an otherwise arid environment.

A network of intermittent watercourses like Muddy Cr, Red Wash, and Barrel Springs Draw cut through the terrain, while routes such as Wamsutter Rd and Wild Cow Rd provide the primary access through these remote public lands. The map details the transition between various township and range lines, including t16n r93w and t15n r92w, providing essential data for land ownership and grazing right research.
