2012 Map of Moss Agate Reservoir

About this map

The Little Medicine Bow River defines the drainage of this Carbon County landscape, winding through a region marked by vital water management and scattered outposts. In the early 21st century, the area near Moss Agate Reservoir and Heward Reservoir remains primarily focused on ranching and resource management, evidenced by the road network branching off Shirley Basin N Rd and Shirley Ridge Rd. The presence of the Walker Homestead and Teton Camp speaks to a history of land use in this high basin. Near the intersection of Shirley Basin Access Rd, a small cluster of streets including Antelope St, Elk, and Badger St suggests a localized pocket of development amid the broader terrain of Chalk Draw and Sand Cr.
