About this map

The Little Medicine Bow River winds through this Carbon County landscape, defining the hydrology of a region where water management is central to the terrain's utility. At the northern edge of the sheet, Moss Agate Ridge overlooks the eponymous Moss Agate Reservoir, while other nearby catchments like Heward Reservoir emphasize the modification of natural drainages for localized needs.

A network of numbered county roads and named routes, including Shirley Ridge Rd and the Shirley Basin Access Rd, provides access to these high plains. Of particular interest to local historians is the Utah Mining Camp Spr in the north and the presence of localized street names such as Antelope St and Badger St, suggesting a concentrated node of settlement or industry amidst the various draws like Chalk Draw and Antelope Draw.
